How to dispose of batteries
Overview
Small rechargeable batteries, such as those in power banks, phones, e-cigarettes and fans, must not go in burnable garbage or plastic resources: they can start fires in collection trucks. Some are taken back by partner shops of a battery association. Dry-cell and coin batteries (CR, BR) go in non-combustible garbage on the usual days, in a separate bag, with their terminals taped. Button batteries go to battery collection cans.
