Disposal of Waste batteries
Numéro d’image : 13736821
| Waste batteries should not be thrown into general household rubbish as they all contain elements, such as heavy metals, that are extremely hazardous to the environment and human health. Some local councils provide battery recycling services and there are battery collection containers at many supermarkets in tbe UK. The problem is growing as people are using and disposing of more electronic devices. According to local authorities, batteries disposed of with general household rubbish cause about 700 fires every year in waste-trucks, dustcarts, and waste-processing centres. The aim of recycling batteries is to recover as much of the raw materials as possible. They contain different materials, such as lithium-ion, zinc, or nickel-cadmium and if they are sorted into their different types, more of the raw materials can be successfully recovered. | |
