I know the lithium batteries are supposed to be a pain to recycle but how are the conventional ones broken down to recover all the materials?
I have a bucket I throw dead batteries into and picking it up made me realize just how heavy it is. That is a lot of metal. And metal is money.
Use to work In a recycling warehouse for plastics, the amount of batteries that would run through our line then get compressed in a baler or shredded was ridiculous.
I swear we would have bi-weekly fires, our local fire department probably hated us.
