WARNING
●
There are many risks involved with improper disposal of batteries, whether
damaged or not. Batteries may contain heavy metals and be considered
hazardous waste.
●
Many regions around the world now strictly enforce laws to help protect our
environment. By not disposing of batteries properly, you may be liable for fines
from your local through national government.
●
By not recycling batteries, they end up in landfills that are already low on space.
From these land fills, lead and other chemicals may leach into streams and rivers
destroying ecosystems and poisoning local water resources.
●
Improper disposal of batteries may also cause injury to unsuspecting others that
come in contact with them. If you come in contact with fluids or corroded powder
from a battery, rinse with water and contact a physician if necessary. If contact
with eyes occurs, rinse for 15 minutes and then visit a physician.
●
Incinerating or burning a battery will cause it to explode!
