Dry batteries should be strictly differentiated into how to deal with them?

According to the garbage classification regulations, although not all batteries are hazardous, all batteries should be handled professionally and cannot be treated like other garbage.

According to the classification of domestic garbage in Guangzhou, non-rechargeable batteries, ie dry batteries, are classified as “other garbage”. The non-rechargeable dry battery is classified as other garbage, which is related to the current production process of the dry battery. According to reports, the country's existing non-rechargeable dry battery production, for the use of heavy metals has been strictly limited, it can be treated according to other waste; rechargeable batteries are still classified as hazardous waste.

Both rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries should be treated professionally with other waste. Although national standards do limit the heavy metals of non-rechargeable batteries, it is difficult to ensure that every non-rechargeable battery is not contaminated. In addition, it is a waste to treat non-rechargeable batteries as other waste into the landfill.
