Proper Disposal of Batteries
Proper Disposal of Batteries
As part of our ongoing efforts to ensure the safety and efficiency of our recycling process, we would like to remind you of the importance of proper recycling practices, particularly concerning the disposal of batteries.
Batteries, while seemingly innocuous, pose significant risks when improperly disposed of in recycling bins. When batteries are mixed with other recyclable materials, they can cause fires and explosions, endangering the lives of workers and damaging recycling machinery.
To prevent such hazards, we kindly request that you refrain from placing batteries in your recycling bins. Instead, please dispose of them responsibly at designated battery recycling drop-off locations. Many retail stores and recycling centers offer convenient options for battery disposal.
Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated and contributes to the safety of our recycling process. Together, we can ensure a safer and more sustainable community for all.
