🚨 THIS IS CAUSING FIRES 🚨

Many fires are caused by batteries being thrown in the trash.

When you toss batteries in your garbage, you’re putting sanitation workers and firefighters at risk. These batteries can spark, ignite, and turn a routine pickup into a dangerous fire in seconds.

⚠️ Don’t throw batteries in the trash.

Dispose of them safely at:

🔋 Batteries Plus
📍 1983 N Highway 17, Mount Pleasant, SC

🔋 Charleston County Recycling – Awendaw
📍 6380 Maxville Road, Awendaw, SC

🔥 One battery can start a fire. Do the right thing. ♻️
