Batteries
Instructions
Put household batteries in a clear plastic bag and place on top of the landfill bin. If it's a lithium-based battery (Li, Lithium), put some tape over the battery contacts. If you live in an apartment or looking to dispose of batteries at work, there might be a small, separate bin for batteries.
Alternatives
Invest in reusable, rechargeable batteries.
