Of course no one should ever consider eating a battery. Though sometimes it is tempting to just throw old household batteries in the trash – after all they hardly take up any space.
Don’t let their size fool you! As this parody video illustrates, batteries (even the small watch-sized ones) contain toxins that we definitely do not want to bury in landfill. Because anything that goes into our environment can ultimately end up in our own food chain.
Recycling batteries is as easy as a trip to your local London Drugs.
We will accept alkaline batteries, rechargeable batteries, button batteries, computer batteries, cell phone batteries, camera batteries – just not car batteries!
And all that battery recycling adds up. In an average year, our customers recycle about 43,000 kilograms of batteries.
That’s a lot of toxins saved from tossing.
