Waste batteries contain highly toxic and flammable substances such as mercury, nickel, cadmium, lithium, etc. Due to the danger of these toxic substances leaking into the soil or water causing an enormous damage to the environment and the human health, it is recommended immediately after their use to dispose of them in the designated public places, so they can be collected and treated appropriately.

Since waste single-use batteries have no economic value, Ekocentar 97 temporarily stores them, and then exports them to specialized facilities to the neighboring countries for complete destruction. In the past period, educational workshops were organized, mostly in kindergartens and schools, where the children from the youngest ages learn how to preserve the environment, as well as the correct way of handling and protecting themselves from these waste items that are a part of our everyday life.
