Batteries |
Laptops, power tools, and cell phones are just a few of the battery operated devices that have become part of our daily lives.
Various types of batteries such as rechargeable and vehicle batteries contain toxic heavy metals that may harm our environment if they are not properly disposed.
Recycling opportunities exist for these battery types, lessening the environmental risks.
Single-use, alkaline batteries (button type, AAA, AA, C, D, 6V, 9V) are NOT considered hazardous and can go into your trash.
