Did you know batteries are one of the leading causes of truck fires? 🔋

Batteries should never be placed in trash, recycling, or organics containers. Even used batteries can spark fires in collection trucks, recycling facilities, and landfills.

To find a battery disposal site near you or check out other battery recycling resources, head to the link in our bio for more information! by @athensservices
