Batteries may not be disposed of with the
usual domestic waste. They may contain
toxic heavy metals and are subject to
hazardous waste treatment rules and
regulations. The chemical symbols for
heavy metals are as follows:
Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead.
That is why you should dispose of used
batteries at a local collection point.
