PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY — (Press Release) National Battery Day is February 18. This is a day to recognize the device that energizes the things that make our lives more convenient. But if handled improperly or disposed of improperly, batteries can have a dark side.
Batteries can be harmful to the environment. They are made from a variety of different chemicals and metals including alkaline, silver-oxide, nickel, metal-hydride, lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, lithium-ion, and zinc-carbon. When thrown in the regular trash, batteries decay in landfill sites and could leak into the groundwater, which pollutes soil and water in the community.
