Importance of Alkaline Battery Recycling and How to Safely Dispose of Your Batteries

Alkaline batteries, a common household item, require recycling to prevent environmental damage. They generate an electric current using potassium hydroxide, releasing toxic metals like lead, mercury, and cadmium. Recycling protects natural resources, reduces mining and deforestation, and reduces the carbon footprint. Recycling methods include local domestic programs, retailer drop-off programs, and services.
