Recycle your Batteries for free

Did you know that it is illegal as well as unsafe to dispose of household batteries in the trash? Besides containing materials that can be hazardous if released in the environment, even intact batteries that aren't 100% discharged present a potential hazard. In light of this we invite everyone to Recycle your batteries at the Cardiff Library. We now have the means to safely facilitate battery recycling. All we ask is that you cover the positive terminal of the battery with any style of tape (when the positive terminals of batteries that have any amount of charge touch, the result can be overheating and a possible fire). We have bags to place the batteries in, and a safe receptacle to place those bags in. So help us help you make the responsible choice for your home and your environment by recycling your used batteries here at the Cardiff branch!
