Did you know fires caused by lithium batteries in landfills result in over $22 million in damages every year?🔋

If you have a lithium (rechargable) battery that has reached the end of its life, do not throw it in the garbage. Instead, bring it to Recycling and Disposal Services (RDS), Disposal of Toxics, Lowe’s, Home Depot and Pacific Power Batteries or Ridwell (for a fee).♻️

Help keep our waste facilities safe and reduce fire risks by disposing of batteries responsibly!

WasteWise is a free online search engine that lets you find the best way to dispose of nearly any item. Click on the link to try yourself:
