🔋 Never bin your batteries! Today is Battery Awareness Day and we’re reminding everyone to recycle old batteries. Batteries, even if they have run out of charge, can cause fires when they’re crushed in bin lorries or at our processing sites. This fire, which broke out on a bin lorry last year, was believed to have been caused by lithium batteries. Recycle your batteries at your local supermarket or take them to a household waste and recycling centre ➡️ https://orlo.uk/Recycle_Batteries_vLvx5 |
