My random thought about this...
My company placed these green trash cans at each of the major buildings at our facility.
I assume disposable batteries or lithium/other recyclable batteries can all be co-mingled. Two thoughts about this noble endeavor...
Aren't lithium batteries prone to spontaneous combustion... or are depleted/uncharged LI batteries very 'safe'??
Also, I can only image this waste can 1/3 full of batteries, weighing ~50+#... no handles... so it had better have a super tough, heavy duty, liner-bag... god help you if the bag tears.
Regards, Wil Taylor
