Households across the Shire of Manjimup are putting large volumes of recyclable material into their recycling bins just now, which is great. BUT ..., at the same time there has been a spate of vehicle batteries being put in the yellow-lid recycling bin - and that is dangerous!
Batteries tumbling around inside steel collection trucks are likely to spark a fire - dangerous for the driver and the public and a waste of all your good recyclables. Don't put any sort of batteries in the yellow-lid bin!
Recycle vehicle batteries via your waste facility or a Men's Shed. Recycle smaller batteries at Shire libraries, AquaCentre, Shire Depot and some schools.
