Here’s a quick tip about dealing with batteries once they’ve been replaced – in this case, I’m talking about your smoke detector batteries. Check out the link below – it’s about an owner of a house that caught fire – caused by a used 9 volt battery.
Makes you think about how you dispose of your used batteries. Once I’d watched this video, I raced down to the Palmerston North Recycling Centre on Ferguson Street, and handed over my bag of used batteries I’d had sitting in my garage for some time. Good to know they recycle them there, for FREE!
