Battery Recycling Bin - 10L - Pink with Clear Tube

Clear recycling tubes for safe disposal of used batteries These battery recycling bins are clear tubes for the storage and the recycling of used batteries. The bins are available in two different sizes: 10 and 15 litres. The battery recycling bins are a great option for shops offices and other environments where batteries are in constant use. The minerals found in batteries including zinc lead mercury and lithium can be recovered in the recycling process and used again to make new batteries or some other product. The recycling of batteries is a positive step for the environment because otherwise the potentially hazardous minerals would go to landfill. Although mercury is being eliminated from alkaline batteries the mercury in button batteries cannot be removed and they remain hazardous from that point of view. At a time when everyone is being asked to make their contribution to environmental protection these battery recycling bins make a great addition to the workplace. Schools would also benefit from having them. Placed in the classroom the bins would offer an easy and highly visible lesson to children on the importance of recycling and safe storage of lithium-ion batteries.
