The battery is a common item that we use every day. It is important to recycle battery use to help preserve our environment. Here are some tips to help reduce the amount of battery waste that is created:
The average American throws out over 1,000 pounds of batteries per year. That’s enough batteries to power over 200,000 homes for a year.
And while recycling is the best way to reduce your environmental impact, many people don’t know how to recycle batteries.
The recycling process of batteries starts by sorting batteries into chemistries.
Collection centers place lead acid, nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal-hydride, lithium ion, and polymer batteries into designated drums, sacks, or boxes.
