Almost everything we touch has some form of portable energy storage built into it. As we recognize Fire Safety Week, please take care to remove old batteries from items being discarded, computers, power tools, bikes, appliances and toys.
These batteries can combust at any time due to changes in environment and moisture conditions.
Please do not charge e-bikes or power tools in hallways or near entry – exit routes.
Ensure all batteries are taken to recycling centers and discarded correctly. Visit www.call2recycle.org to find a recycling spot near you.
Thanks!!
