Recycling batteries isn't actually that easy, though. So many people will continue to be lazy and just bin them.
The onus is currently on people to take the batteries somewhere to recycle. Which means they need to store them until they do.
So, instead of bin lorry fires, we'll have house fires instead. Realistically, councils should start collecting them with kerb-side recycling.
