Most of us don't think twice about throwing away old electronics or batteries, but improperly discarding rechargeable batteries is becoming a massive threat to our trash and recycling teams.
When compressed or damaged inside a garbage truck or processing facility, lithium-ion and nickel batteries can burst into flames. This puts our garbage collectors' lives at risk and causes severe damage to collection trucks and processing centers.
❌ NEVER put rechargeable batteries in your trash or recycling bins.
You can find these hidden fire hazards in everyday items like:
📱 Cellphones & Laptops
💨 E-Cigarettes & Vapes
🪥 Electric Toothbrushes
🎮 Gaming Devices & Controllers
🔋 Power Tools, Toys, Watches and Remotes
What about regular alkaline batteries (AA, AAA, etc)?
While they aren't a fire hazard, they still don't belong in your trash or recycling!
All batteries and battery-operated devices should be handled as Household Hazardous Waste.
Schedule your battery disposal today: https://t.co/4t1391uUdc
