Never Bin Batteries – Always Recycle for Free ♻️🔋

Lithium batteries are everywhere - powering our smartphones, laptops, tablets, e-bikes, and more. But did you know they can overheat or even catch fire if not handled properly? Accidents and injuries from lithium batteries are on the rise, so it’s important to use and dispose of them safely.

✅ Top Tips for Lithium Battery Safety

• Choose wisely – Buy from reputable sources and registered suppliers

• Use the right charger – Stick to manufacturer-recommended chargers and batteries

• Follow instructions – Always read and follow the guidelines

• Check for recalls – Stay informed and act quickly if needed

• Charge safely – Monitor devices while charging and unplug when done

• Don’t use damaged batteries – Avoid batteries that are swollen, leaking, or overheating

• Store safely – Keep batteries in a cool, dry place away from children and pets

• Recycle responsibly – Never bin batteries or battery-powered devices—always recycle for free

Recycling batteries and battery powered products helps conserve natural materials, reduce environmental impact, and keep our homes safe.

The work is continuing for the Thursday Clean Up 🙌 our fantastic volunteers were out weeding 🌱 along the roadside heading to the roundabout and did a huge amount before the inevitable rain made an appearance ☔
Yes it may be harder to do the weeding but Tyrrellspass Tidy Towns NEVER uses any type of weedkiller ☠️

For the week 8th to 15th June we are asking people to make an extra effort to look for hedgehogs and report your sightings at hedgehogsireland.com. So take a night time stroll in your garden or park or in the countryside and see what you can see. If you see roadkill hedgehogs, please report those too. Be careful out in the dark and Please don't disturb or pick up hedgehogs!
