Only 10% of people know that household batteries can be thrown
According to battery.com.cn, recently, many citizens have reported that in order to respond to the call for environmental protection, a lot of used batteries have been collected on weekdays, and it is a problem to finally send them. At the same time, the Century Sunshine Hotel in Emeishan City, because of fear of polluting the environment, stored all the more than 4,000 mercury-free alkaline batteries that had been replaced, and did not dare to throw them around, but did not know how to deal with them. The environmental protection department said that according to the current regulations, household batteries have reached the national low-mercury or mercury-free technical requirements, and can be distributed with daily garbage, without centralized and unified recycling. However, nickel-cadmium batteries and lead- acid batteries , which contain heavy metal cadmium and lead, need to be recycled by a unit with a hazardous waste business license. Lead batteries such as button batteries and battery batteries or other heavy metal batteries are classified as hazardous waste and should be collected in a centralized manner. However, the reporter randomly asked 50 people to find out that 90% of people do not know this rule. It seems that it is not enough for the public to be environmentally conscious. It is necessary to publicize the policies in order to properly handle these used batteries. Midea , https://www.mideagroups.com
