The method of disposing of batteries is as follows.
Anything from a business site cannot be sent to a collection site in household garbage. In addition, we cannot put in recycling box such as city halls or collection can of collection cooperation shop.
Dry batteries
The batteries are collected twice a week on the day of collection of dry batteries (the same collection date as burnable garbage), so please put them together with dry batteries and put them in a transparent or translucent bag.
Main objects: Manganese batteries, alkali batteries, lithium primary batteries, nickel-based primary batteries, coin batteries (format symbol CR or BR)
