⚠️ DO NOT PLACE LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES IN TRASH OR RECYCLING.
Across California, improper disposal of lithium-ion batteries is causing preventable fires. These batteries are in everyday rechargeable devices—phones, laptops, power tools, e-bikes—and when they’re crushed, damaged, or thrown away incorrectly, they can spark a fire.
A recent garbage truck fire in Roseville started when a lithium-ion battery was compacted during collection. Incidents like this are a reminder: batteries do NOT belong in curbside bins.
➡️ Protect your home, workers, and community:
🔹 Never put lithium-ion batteries in the trash or recycling cart
🔹 Tape battery terminals before transporting for disposal
🔹 Store damaged or swollen batteries away from anything flammable
🔹 Bring batteries to an approved recycling or household hazardous waste site
Rechargeable technology is now standard in everyday life. As these devices become routine, so does the need to handle and dispose of lithium-ion batteries safely. Safe disposal is simple, and it prevents dangerous fires before they start.
