Batteries are a common household item in Canada, but unfortunately, most of them end up in landfills where they deteriorate over time. This can lead to the potential leakage of harmful substances such as lead, cadmium, zinc, and lithium into the ground, causing pollution of both water and soil. To help protect the environment, bring your used batteries to any Columbia Bottle Depot location. Not only will this prevent pollution, but your used batteries can also be repurposed in various ways, such as being used in the manufacturing of paint, metal plating, new electronics, and more.
