But besides illegally parking under a void deck and in a BlueSG lot, you can now add one more place where you shouldn’t park your vehicle beside: The Recycle Bin.
Innocent Van & Motorcycle Parked Near Recycle Bin Burn After Bin Catches Fire
A video uploaded to popular Facebook page All Singapore Stuff showed what is reportedly a recycle bin burning heavily.
A van and a motorcycle parked just beside the bin were not spared from the flames.
