Recycling Batteries
Many batteries we use every day contain chemicals that are hazardous to the
environment. To reduce the possibility of contaminating our soil and water,
read the labels and buy batteries that have little or no mercury. Use
rechargeable batteries and recycle them when possible.
Also, if you can’t recycle the battery, proper disposal will help protect our
environment. For instance, if you have a lawn mower battery that is old, don’t
throw it away. Lowe’s on Prospect Avenue in Champaign will take used up
lawn mower batteries. Just take them to the Customer Service counter.
To find out how you can properly dispose of batteries or where you can
recycle them, see the following websites:
