Batteries should not be disposed of in unsorted municipal waste, but separately collected to
facilitate the correct treatment and recycling of the substances they contain. The recycling of
batteries ensures the recovery of these valuable materials and prevents any potentially harmful
effects upon both the environment and human health. Please contribute to battery recycling
by segregating all spent batteries and actively participating in their collection and recycling.
Various battery collection schemes will be in operation in different areas of the country.
However, battery collection bins will be available at retail stores that sell batteries as well as
at schools, libraries and other public buildings.
