RethinkWaste's Battery Survey
|
|
Batteries power our daily lives, but eventually reach their end of life and must be disposed of properly. It is illegal to put batteries in the trash.
Proper disposal of batteries helps prevent potentially hazardous materials in batteries (such as lithium, cadmium, and nickel) from harming the environment. It also protects waste workers and equipment from possible fires as batteries can get crushed inside recycling and/or trash compactors.
What do you know about battery disposal? Tell us in this short survey before January 31st and you’ll be entered to win one of five $50 Visa gift cards!
