Batteries that are thrown into the bin end up in land fill. They can end up polluting water streams, lakes, and soil since over a period of time they start to leak heavy metals (such as lead or mercury) and corrosive acids.
The recycling of materials contained in old batteries also creates valuable resources that are re-used in various industries.
So do not bin your old battery, recycle it at your friendly local Greenr battery recycling point!
