Batteries. Chances are you have a household full of battery powered devices but what do you do with your batteries once they’ve been drained of power?
Maybe you throw them in the rubbish, many people do without realising that when batteries are dumped in landfill their toxic makeup is actually harmful to the environment, but there is an alternative – recycling.
At recyclingnearyou.com.au you’ll find a drop off point in your area where batteries can be safely disposed off plus if you’re in a workplace that uses lots of batteries you can find information on recycling programs for business.
Additionally, consider rechargeable batteries as an alternative to single use batteries. For just a few extra dollars you’ll get between 500 and 1000 charges from a single battery and generate less waste.
