Where to throw discarded batteries?

Question 1: Where should used batteries be thrown away? Due to the long-term publicity that "used batteries are harmful", many owners believe that used batteries need to be disposed of separately from other garbage. But in fact, "the AA and AA disposable batteries commonly used by people at present can be disposed of as ordinary garbage." Environmental experts explain that in the past, the main reason why disposable batteries must be recycled was because they contained the highly toxic heavy metal mercury. However, with the improvement of my country's battery manufacturing technology, alkaline batteries currently sold in China have reached the mercury-free level. So it does not need to be disposed of as hazardous waste. However, rechargeable batteries and button batteries are more polluting and must still be recycled by manufacturers and should not be discarded at will. "In communities with four-color trash cans, such batteries must be placed in red trash cans for hazardous waste." .

Question 2: Where should waste batteries be thrown away? According to what is currently advocated, garbage should be classified and processed. Especially batteries. The heavy metals in batteries, such as lead, mercury, cadmium, etc., are all toxic substances. If these toxic substances enter the human body through various channels and are difficult to eliminate after long-term accumulation, they will damage the nervous system, hematopoietic function and bones, and even cause cancer. So it should be handled with more caution.

However, our country’s national conditions do not allow it, and it is difficult to establish a waste battery recycling system in our country. It is understood that building a factory to extract mercury and zinc from used batteries requires an investment of more than 10 million yuan, and more than 4,000 tons of used batteries must be recycled every year to operate the factory. In fact, it is difficult to recycle so many used batteries. "Due to the high operating costs of waste battery recycling, it is difficult to establish and maintain operations in our country. And our people are not very aware of garbage recycling, and not all of them are actively looking for dedicated battery disposal boxes like the poster (of course there is no . . . )

So I suggest you throw it into the community’s recyclable trash can. Regardless of whether it is seriously recycled and processed by the environmental protection department, you still do your best. If left like this, more and more will accumulate, and the problem will become more serious.

Question 3: Where should the discarded mobile phone batteries be disposed of? If it makes sense, there are special trash cans for recycling.

Relevant personnel from the Guangzhou Municipal Urban Management Committee reminded residents that the AA batteries and AA batteries commonly used by residents are not hazardous waste. They will be treated as hazardous waste only if they are integrated in large quantities. As long as they are not rechargeable batteries, button batteries, etc., ordinary batteries should be treated as hazardous waste. There is no problem in disposing of domestic waste. Citizens do not need to accumulate such batteries because there are no special recycling bins. If they accumulate in large quantities, they will become hazardous waste. Rechargeable batteries such as mobile phones and cameras are hazardous waste and are subject to relevant regulations. It is clear that the urban management committee departments in public places will configure corresponding hazardous waste bins, but shopping malls and communities need to be configured by the property management office. According to the requirements, each building must be equipped with a corresponding hazardous waste bin. "For those that are not configured." In residential communities, residents can report and complain to the district and urban management committee departments where they are located, and relevant departments will supervise their configuration."

Question 4: How to deal with waste batteries and where to throw them? According to the current promotion Garbage should be classified and processed, especially batteries. Heavy metals in batteries, such as lead, mercury, cadmium, etc., are toxic substances. If these toxic substances enter the human body through various channels, they will be difficult to eliminate for a long time and will damage the nervous system. , hematopoietic function and bones, and can even cause cancer. Therefore, it should be handled with caution.

However, our country’s national conditions do not allow it. It is understood that it is difficult to establish a waste battery recycling system. The zinc factory requires an investment of more than 10 million yuan and needs to recycle more than 4,000 tons of used batteries every year. In fact, it is difficult to recycle so many used batteries. It is difficult to establish and maintain operations. And we ordinary people are not very aware of garbage recycling, and we do not always actively look for dedicated battery disposal boxes like the poster (of course there are none...)

Therefore, it is recommended that the poster throws it away in the community. Recycle the trash can. Regardless of whether it has been seriously recycled and disposed of by the environmental protection department, the owner still did his best. And if you keep it like this, it will accumulate more and more, and the problem will become more serious.

Question 5: Are waste batteries harmful to the environment? Why? So where should I throw the used batteries at home and how to dispose of them? Batteries contain lead, and some also contain mercury. Lead and mercury are heavy metals that can pollute the environment. Just throw it in the classified trash can. Some materials in the battery can be recycled, such as graphite.

Question 6: Where should used waste batteries be disposed of in order to be environmentally friendly? It doesn't matter, because you threw it away in categories. Others will not classify it.

Question 7: Where should the used dry batteries be thrown? Put them directly into the used batteries in the middle of the special trash can.

If you don’t have it there, wrap it in a flour tape and put it in the trash can.

In fact, in China, the technology of recycling used batteries is immature. Therefore, even if you put it in a place dedicated to recycling batteries, your batteries will not be used.

Question 8: Where can I throw away used batteries? With the rapid popularization of modern communication tools such as mobile phones, a large number of mobile phones are eliminated every year, and the pollution caused by the used mobile phone batteries they produce has become a problem that cannot be ignored. Where have all these obsolete mobile phones gone? Where do the batteries that cause great pollution to the environment "wander"? In interviews with mobile phone users, most people said that their old mobile phones were sold to vendors who recycle mobile phones, and some people threw them directly into the garbage. In Da Nanmen, where mobile phone dealers are concentrated, someone said frankly that some businessmen from the south buy used mobile phones in large quantities, refurbish them and then resell them. The components and batteries replaced during the refurbishment and repairs are simply thrown away without any harmless treatment. chemical treatment. It is understood that there are currently three types of mobile phone batteries: nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries and lithium batteries. However, no matter which type of battery they are, they contain metal elements that are extremely harmful to soil and groundwater. Different from ordinary dry batteries, mobile phone batteries also contain cobalt that has extraction value, and can also decompose other useful metals. Batteries have great harm to the environment, but there is currently no mature technology in China to safely handle them. Before that, our city could only store them uniformly at the Municipal Domestic Waste Management Office. However, the environmental protection department is actively planning to build a hazardous waste disposal plant. Once completed, used batteries can be processed and comprehensively utilized.

Question 9: Where should I throw used batteries? Don't fool your children. I did the same thing as you, and ended up saving half a drawer of batteries! The consequence was that I didn't know how to deal with them! We all know that we need to be environmentally friendly, and we also advocate environmental protection, or we should throw away used batteries, but later I found out , just like porn, they are all deceptive! MD, there is no company that accepts the disposal of used batteries! The original voluntary collection point was finally canceled because of this!

Children’s toys at home consume a lot of batteries, so you should just throw them away Just go to the recyclable garbage. Tell your children: This is recyclable. The uncles and aunts at the sanitation station will come to collect it in the morning. The non-recyclable garbage over there will be taken away by the uncles and aunts at the sanitation station in the morning. Garbage disposal station (although in the early morning I saw the uncles and aunts at the sanitation station dumping all the garbage directly into one place without caring whether it was separated).

Although it is a lie, it is better than letting the children doubt themselves. .
