A sanitation worker was injured
when a helium tank exploded
in Park Slope on June
14, according to police.
David Yen was hauling
a garbage bag into the rear
compactor of a sanitation
truck idling on 12th street
near Sixth Avenue — unaware
that the bag contained
the pressurized canister,
cops said.
When the truck began
compacting the trash, the
tank condensed and exploded,
launching metal
shrapnel into Yen’s face and
chin, according to police.
First responders arrived
on the scene and took Yen to
nearby Methodist Hospital
in stable condition, according
to police.
The Department of Sanitation
guidelines specify
that explosive vessels are
not permitted to be disposed
of with regular garbage, according
to a spokeswoman.
“Helium tanks may be
put out with bulk metal recycling,
but a resident must
take steps to do this safely
– the tank needs to be completely
emptied and the
head of the tank must be removed,”
said Belinda Mager.
“They should never be
placed in garbage bags and
put out for regular garbage
collection.”
