Batteries may produce the following potential problems

  • Contribute to heavy metals that potentially may leach from solid waste landfills.
  • Contain strong corrosive acids.
  • May cause burns or danger to eyes and skin.
  • Expose the environment and water to lead and acid.

 Dry cell batteries contribute about 88 percent of the total mercury and 50 percent of the cadmium in the municipal solid waste stream.When burned, some heavy metals such as mercury may vaporize and escape into the air, and cadmium and lead may end up in the ash.

Facts on Batteries

  • The average person owns about two button batteries, ten normal (A, AA, AAA, C, D, 9V, etc.) batteries, and throws out about eight household batteries per year.
  • on average ten batteries are purchase per person per year.
  • Batteries contain heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, and nickel
Together we can make a difference, one battery at a time!!!
