7.1.3 Battery Disposal
When batteries reach the end of their usual life in accordance with Australian Battery Recycling Initiative please follow the
next simple steps for protecting the environment. Refer to the Automatic Technology website for information on where to
recycle batteries in Australia.
DO NOT
throw the batteries in municipal waste. This symbol of the crossed out wheeled bin indicates
that the battery should not be placed in the municipal waste. Check your local regulations for appropriate
disposal of the batteries.
Recycling all batteries will have other environmental and social benefits:
WARNING!
Prior to disposal, recycling, or collection, all battery terminals must be securely
insulated with a non conductive material to prevent any two batteries from short circuiting
and generating heat during storage or transport. Battery terminals may be insulated with
electrical tape; or batteries may be individually packaged in a non conductive material
(e.g., plastic bag or original packaging).
• Some batteries are less toxic but hazardous for other reasons. Lithium batteries can explode or catch fire in landfill,
while button cells are dangerous if swallowed by children. Recycling offers a safe and environmentally responsible
solution for end of life batteries.
• Battery recycling recovers non-renewable materials such as lead, cadmium, stella, zinc, manganese, cobalt, silver,
plastics and rare earth elements.
• Removal of batteries and other hazardous household products from household waste facilitates the recovery of
organic materials through alternative waste technologies such as composting. Batteries and heavy metals are known
contaminants in compost.
• The community supports recycling because it reduces waste to landfill and achieves environmental benefits.
WARNING! This operator has a grounding
type plug and there are no user serviceable
parts inside this operator.
