Recycle Batteries
They’re so small, so convenient and so full of power. And so easily disposable, too. But that little battery is so full of heavy metals and toxic chemicals that throwing them in the trash only raises the risk that they’ll be burned in a waste combustion facility or that their chemicals will leach into our soil and water.
So take that little cell of power and plop it into a container on your desk, table or counter – anywhere that’s convenient – and next time you’re on your way to the local hardware store, bring those batteries and recycle them.
