battery disposal
Recycling power cells
Battery disposal is the process of discarding used batteries, particularly in ways that prevent environmental contamination.
Because batteries contain heavy metals and corrosive chemicals, proper disposal often requires special handling—recycling centers, designated drop-off points, or hazardous waste collection: Check your local guidelines for battery disposal.
