Batteries do not belong in your bins. They can cause fires and pose risks to your property and the people who empty your bins. 🔋🔥 Keep batteries out of your bins and take them to your nearest battery drop-off instead. See locations at: bcycle.com.au/drop-off

Keep batteries out of your bins. Instead, store used batteries safely at home until you can take them to a drop-off for recycling. ♻️ Use a glass container & cover battery ends with sticky tape to prevent sparking & reduce the risk of fire. 🔥 More info: sustainability.vic.gov.au/circular-econo…
