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 where 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.
DO NOT incinerate or burn the battery. It will cause it to explode!
