Did you know that each year in the UK it's estimated that we throw away about 620 million batteries? If we were to lay them end to end these batteries would stretch all the way from the UK to Australia and back again!! If we look at the size of the UK population, then it appears that every person in Britain uses approximately 10 batteries a year! When batteries begin to rot away in landfill sites, the dangerous chemicals they contain can leak into the ground, which can then lead to soil and water pollution. It stands to reason that this can be harmful to animals, humans and the environment. Recycling is a great way to help protect the environment. Each battery placed in a recycling bin is taken apart and the materials used to make something new.
