Why batteries matter
Batteries left at home can become a hidden safety risk.
Old batteries are often forgotten inside drawers, cupboards, bags, and storage spaces. Over time, damaged or swollen batteries may become unstable if punctured, crushed, overheated, or stored improperly.
Battery recycling is not just about sustainability. It is also about reducing preventable risks while clearing unwanted electronics responsibly.
Prevention matters
Swollen and damaged batteries should still be handled safely.
Swollen batteries
Swollen lithium batteries should not be thrown into general waste. They can still be recycled safely, but should first be isolated from flammable materials and placed in a non-conductive container or bag until proper recycling.
Damaged batteries
If a battery appears cracked, leaking, punctured, or overheated, avoid handling it excessively. Cover exposed terminals with non-conductive tape and store it separately before recycling.
Fire prevention
Improper disposal of lithium batteries may increase fire risks in waste streams and storage environments. Recycling helps reduce unnecessary risks while recovering valuable materials responsibly.
