Why Batteries in the Trash Are a Big No-No

Turns out, tossing old batteries in the trash isn’t just bad for the planet—it’s actually dangerous! Lithium-ion batteries can spark fires in garbage trucks and landfills (yikes), and even regular ones can leak nasty stuff. The pros say to recycle all your batteries at special drop-off spots or stores like Lowe’s. Pro tip: tape the ends and store them safely until you can recycle. Don’t let your batteries go boom! #Safety #batteries #recycling
