  1. How to dispose of lithium batteries to prevent fires

  2. Introduction Lithium batteries power our smartphones, laptops and many of the devices we use each day. It’s important we know how to properly dispose of the batteries to prevent contamination. These batteries are made up mostly of other metals, including iron, cobalt, nickel, copper and aluminium. With the demand for non-renewable resources increasing, it makes sense that we would recycle the materials we have before mining them.

  3. Organise a collection time Find your local battery collection point online. Check with electronic retailers as they may buy back old phones and refurbish or recycle the battery themselves. Do not throw batteries in the trash as they can combust and cause fires.

  4. The start of the recycling process While many lithium batteries end up in landfill each year, many more are sitting around the house collecting dust. Recycling protects the environment, and also keeps the cost down of mining to produce future goods.

  5. Conclusion If you are a business looking to recycle lithium batteries and other batteries too, give us a call on 08 9331 7271 to enquire about how Bonza Bins can help you out. The most affordable skip bins Canning Vale!
