Bring your depleted household batteries to church and our Environmental Concerns Committee members will take them to Haz Bin (Metro Louisville’s hazardous materials disposal site).
Batteries contain toxic metals, such as lead, cadmium, and lithium that can be released into the environment when disposed of the wrong way. You should know, batteries placed in curbside recycling bins are not recycled. They cannot be picked out by the staff and equipment designed to sort large volumes of paper, glass, metal, and plastic.
