DISPOSAL OF BATTERIES
An alkaline battery does not contain mercury, cadmium or lead, and is
better for the environment than older types of batteries. Alkaline
batteries should be disposed through local recycling stations/waste dumps.
Contact your local government's recycling or solid waste
department for more information on proper recycling of
alkaline batteries in your region.
DISPOSAL OF ELECTRONICS
Improperly disposed electronics may harm public health
and the environment. Batteries and electronic waste may
contain toxic heavy metals. If thrown away in the trash, the toxic
compounds can leach into soil and water, pollute lakes and streams,
making them unfit for drinking, swimming, fishing, and wildlife. Contact
your local government's recycling or solid waste department for more
information on proper disposal of electronics in your region.
