Welcome back to your weekly “Trash Talk Tuesday” article, this week we want to bring your attention to another misconception in recycling and that is batteries. Batteries contain mercury and other potential toxic materials so many believe that batteries should be thrown out, and they can. However batteries can be recycled too just not in curbside pickup. Contact your local library or post office to see if they have a bin to recycle batteries. If they do not accept batteries you can go on the website batterysolutions.com to start recycling your batteries today!
