🔋 Unattended PMD Battery Causes Alarm in Queenstown — Why Safe Disposal Matters More Than Ever

On May 11, 2025, an abandoned schoolbag with wires sticking out was found in the middle of Stirling Road, Queenstown, just outside a church. Police responded swiftly, suspecting a possible bomb threat.

After investigation, it was revealed that the bag contained a PMD (personal mobility device) battery.

Although no one was injured and the area wasn’t evacuated, this incident could have ended very differently.

🚨 Not Just an Eyesore — It’s a Security Threat

In the video circulating online, the bag was seen unattended in the middle of the road, with wires visibly exposed. The scene triggered public alarm, prompting police to arrive and cordon off the area for safety checks.

This isn’t the first time something like this has happened.

We’ve noticed a growing trend where young punks or careless adults dispose of batteries recklessly:

• Dumping them by the roadside

• Throwing them into garbage trucks or bins

• Leaving them at void decks or stairwells

This is not just irresponsible — it’s dangerous.

Batteries can explode or catch fire due to thermal runaway, especially if damaged or exposed to heat. And when left unattended, they can be mistaken for explosive devices, triggering unnecessary panic and wasting emergency resources.

💡 So What Should You Do?

Proper e-waste and battery disposal in Singapore isn't easy or cheap. Here's the reality:

• You can’t throw PMD batteries into public bins or ALBA e-waste collection bins.

• If you try to dispose through official e-waste channels (like ALBA Group), they often charge over $100+ (before GST) for doorstep pickup.

• And booking them isn't always fast or convenient.
