Understanding Battery Recycling

Why recycling batteries matters, its environmental impact, and how you can help.

Battery Recycling

♻ Why does battery recycling matter?

Batteries power our daily lives – from smartphones to cars – but once discarded, they can become hazardous to the environment.

Recycling batteries helps recover valuable materials and prevents toxic substances from polluting soil and water.

Did you know? Over 90% of a lead-acid battery can be recycled, saving natural resources and energy!
Environmental impact

🌱 Environmental impact of improper disposal

When batteries end up in landfills, harmful chemicals like lead, cadmium, and mercury can leach into the ground and water sources.

This poses serious health risks to both humans and wildlife. Recycling prevents this and reduces the need for mining raw materials.

Battery Collection

🙌 How you can help

  • Collect and store used batteries safely at home.
  • Drop them at designated Battery Bin collection points or events.
  • Encourage friends, family, and schools to participate.
  • Stay informed about safe battery disposal practices.
