Check the laws for your specific country. Quite often, there are specific regulations about that. It may also depend on the type of batteries.
You may need to clean car batteries occasionally, but if regular batteries leak you should just get rid of them. anonymous@oola.com
Some schools collect them. Do you have any kids/know anyone with kids?? Because my 6 year old brother's school collect batteries. Hope this helps!!
Correct new and used batteries should not be mixed together due to reduced life span and other potential hazards from mixing. Batteries when being replaced should always be replaced with new batteries of the same size and brand if possible.
Take them to your local recycling centre. The batteries and phone both contain parts that are recyclable.
Yes, since batteries at the dollar store are less durable than rechargable batteries and less enco-friendly, you should not purchase them.
Take them to an E-Waste Recycling Center. Do not put them in your regular trash.
Yes, if the smoke alarm has replaceable batteries, they should be replaced at least once per year.While you're at it, you should also test the smoke alarm BEFORE you remove the old batteries, to see if it was already dead, and perhaps test the old batteries before you dispose of them. That way you might determine whether your old batteries were already putting you at risk and, if so, perhaps start changing or testing them more frequently.
To get rid of used batteries contact your waste management company. They'll send over a special collection crew to dispose of batteries.
Frequently purchasing new batteries gets expensive quickly. Charging desks are not very expensive and make up for the cost of constantly replacing batteries quickly.
That will depend on where you live. Batteries can be recycled, so a recycling center should accept them. In California, batteries cannot be thrown away in the trash, so most curbside recycling services will accept household batteries. Talk to your local trash collection service to see what they recommend.
Unless the old battery has lost some of its fluid; both old and new batteries should weigh the same.
No, if the prescription is old then it should be gotten rid of.
