#NationalBatteryDay reminder to check your devices for rechargeable and button batteries! Some may be “hiding”in household items that are easy to forget about. Batteries never go in the recycling, and only single-use alkaline batteries can go in the trash.
For batteries that can be easily removed from their devices, take them out, tape the ends, and bring them to a drop-off site. Items that don’t have removable batteries (like smartphones) should go to e-waste collection.
