Commonly found in everyday items like watches, toys, remotes, and hearing aids, these coin-sized batteries can cause serious injury if swallowed and pose environmental hazards if not disposed of properly. Understanding how to handle, store, and recycle button cells safely isn&#8217;t just about protecting your family; it is also about doing your part to minimize environmental impact and safeguard future generations.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Safety and Handling of Button Cell Batteries <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>As mentioned above, don&#8217;t let the size of these batteries fool you; they need to be handled and disposed of properly to prevent any dangerous incidents.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Safe Storage Practices<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>First and foremost, because these batteries are so small, it is crucial that you keep them out of reach of children and pets. If, for some reason, they are swallowed, it is considered a life-threatening medical emergency as they can cause severe internal burns and tissue damage. These should be stored in a place where there is no chance, they will get in the hands of a child or pet. If you plan to store these batteries in a safe place inside your house, place each battery in a separate plastic bag or cover the battery&#8217;s terminals or the entire button with non-conductive tape (e.g., electrical tape). A lithium battery may spark and cause a fire if damaged or if the terminal ends touch. If the battery becomes damaged, contact the manufacturer for specific handling information.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Why Loose Batteries Can Be Dangerous<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Also, it&#8217;s not a good idea to keep these loose batteries in your pockets. Button cell batteries can short-circuit, leak, or overheat when they come into contact with other metal objects, such as your keys, for example.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Proper Disposal of Button Cell Batteries<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If you need to dispose of a button cell battery, do not put them in the trash or municipal recycling bins, as they still pose a fire and explosion risk. Additionally, if they break down in landfills, these substances can leach into the soil and groundwater, polluting the environment and harming wildlife. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends recycling button cell batteries through approved collection programs. You can find a local recycling facility using the <a href=\"https:\/\/search.earth911.com\/?what=Button+Cell+Batteries\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong data-start=\"577\" data-end=\"607\">Earth911 recycling locator<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Protecting People and the Environment<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Proper care and disposal of button cell batteries might seem like a small task, but it makes a big difference. By keeping these batteries out of reach of children, handling them safely, and recycling them through approved collection programs, we can prevent accidents and protect the environment. Every responsible choice adds up, ensuring our homes stay safe and our communities stay clean.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Learn More About Battery and Safety Training<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Here at ICC, safety is our expertise.
