BATTERY DISPOSAL
Lithium Ion batteries contain elements that may pose health
risks to individuals if they are allowed to leach into the ground
water supply. In some countries, it may be illegal to dispose
of these batteries in standard household waste. Fortunately,
many recycling facilities exist that process lithium ion batteries, in part due
to the value of the materials contained within the individual cells. In the
United States and Canada, a large network of over 30,000 battery drop off
locations may be found at www.call2recycle.org.
To render the battery safe, apply tape over any exposed connectors to
prevent the accidental shorting of the positive and negative terminals of
the battery during transport. Place each battery into its own plastic bag,
seal the bag, and deposit the battery into the recycling container. NEVER
dispose of the battery in a fire or incinerator, as the battery may catch
fire and explode.
