In a crucial safety alert, the Waste Management and Resource Recovery Association of Australia (WMRR) has emphasised the importance of proper battery disposal to avert potentially hazardous fire incidents.

​

The WMRR underscores the need for a meticulous examination of items before disposal to identify embedded batteries. If discovered, it is imperative to carefully extract the battery and promptly deposit it at a designated Bcycle collection point.

​

Lithium-ion batteries, commonly found in various battery types, pose a significant fire risk. Disposing of these batteries in regular bins not only endangers the environment but can also lead to dangerous fires.

​

To facilitate safe battery disposal, individuals should visit www.bcycle.com.au to locate the nearest drop-off point in their vicinity.

​

In the interest of personal and environmental safety, adhere to these guidelines and play a vital role in preventing battery-related fires.

 

Let's all stay safe and dispose of batteries responsibly!
