Never put a battery of any kind in your household bin! They can ignite and explode, causing fires.
Watch a fire take hold of one of our garbage trucks because of a battery.
But don’t worry, it’s easy to find a place near you to drop off unwanted batteries. Your local IGA, Coles, Woolworths, Bunnings and Aldi should have a battery drop-off box for most common household batteries.
We want to hear from you! Help us by nominating a deserving person now in one of the following six categories:
- Citizen of the Year
- Young Citizen of the Year
- Volunteer of the Year
- Jack Mundey Environment and Heritage Award
- Community Organisation of the Year
- Community Woman of the Year
