Never bin your batteries
When used batteries are tossed in your landfill or recycling bins, they can start a fire in the collection truck, at the recycling sorting facility, or at the landfill.
Batteries that end up in landfill not only create a fire risk, they can also leak dangerous chemicals into our underground waterways.
Don’t bin your batteries.
Instead, drop these battery types into collection containers free of charge. See where:
