Workers had to tip the smouldering waste on to the road to enable it to be safely extinguished, following advice from firefighters, a Leeds city Council spokesperson said.Mohammed Rafique, executive member for environment, said incorrectly discarded rubbish can cause "danger to our crews and staff, damaged vehicles and inconvenience for residents".

No workers were hurt during the fires and the bin lorries, roads and nearby properties were not damaged.The mess at each location was cleared up as quickly as possible, a council spokesperson said.But the incidents did cause extra expense and inconvenienced neighbours and drivers, they added.

Rafique said: "Fires in bin wagons or at recycling centres can be started from the smallest spark or heat source."The council urged people to dispose of batteries or devices like vapes that contain lithium-ion batteries at the place they were purchased from, supermarket recycling points or the tip.

They advised people to allow disposable barbecues to fully cool down, soak them in water and wrap them in foil before putting them in the bin.

Stunning images of the Milky Way have been captured over the Cornish coast by an amateur photographer.Artists across Guernsey are being given the chance to create a mural for a charity supporting children at risk of homelessness.

Action for Children (AFC) said it was teaming up with Guernsey Arts to improve one of its accommodation's communal areas by giving it a "bright and natural" uplift.Those interested could submit a design and, after it has been approved by the young people, they would be given a fee of £1,000 and materials to help create the mural, bosses said.

AFC houses people between the age of 13 and 25 in so-called training flats to teach them about living skills, employment, and how to deal with substance abuse."We know engaging in projects around the arts improves long-term outcomes for young people," said Aaron Davies, from Action for Children.
