When we recycle, many different materials like paper, plastic, glass, and metal get sorted and processed so they can be reused. But when batteries end up in the recycling bin, they create serious dangers. <\/span><\/p>\n

Batteries can:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Spark and start fires in recycling trucks or facilities.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Leak harmful chemicals that put workers and the environment at risk.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Damage valuable recyclable materials around them.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    THINK ABOUT IT!<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

    You just unwrapped a delivery and tossed the packing paper into the recycling bin. But\u2026someone else accidentally tossed in an old battery along with their recyclables.<\/span><\/p>\n

    That one battery can cause big problems.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

      \n
    • When the recycling truck comes, the battery rolls around with paper, glass, cans, and plastic. If it gets crushed, it could spark a fire inside the truck.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • At the recycling facility, machines sort thousands of items every hour. If that battery breaks open, it could leak harmful chemicals onto paper or plastics, ruining the materials and making them unsafe to recycle. Fire would destroy all the recyclables.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Workers who handle the recycling are put at risk if batteries catch fire or leak.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Now think: what if dozens of people in your town tossed batteries in the recycling bin? Fires could happen more often, recyclables might be wasted, and people could be in danger.<\/span><\/p>\n

      That\u2019s why preparing recyclables correctly\u2014like removing batteries from toys, electronics, or devices and taking them to a battery drop-off spot\u2014is such an important step. One small action from you can keep recycling safe for everyone!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” vertically_center_columns=”true” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” id=”criteria” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color=”#126069″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-15-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_custom_heading text=”Now it\u2019s your turn to get creative…” font_container=”tag:h1|font_size:68|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:1.2″ google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:800%20bold%20regular%3A800%3Anormal”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”10″][vc_custom_heading text=”Here are some guidelines to help you get started!” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff” google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:600%20bold%20italic%3A600%3Aitalic”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-10-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n
