Recycling batteries

recycling box will be taken apart and
many of the materials will be recovered
and used to make new batteries or
something else.
Recycling batteries is good for the
environment. It keeps them out of
landfill, where heavy metals may leak
into the ground when the battery casing
corrodes, causing soil and water
pollution.

oil can be recycled into


biodiesel, but otherwise should be
disposed of properly as putting it in the
trash or down the drain can be
dangerous.
