 To safely dispose of batteries with lithium batteries of greater than 9 volts, put clear packing, masking or electrical tape on the batteries 'terminals or sandwich the batteries between two layers of tape. These batteries should be placed in a container separate from other batteries that don't require being taped.

Residents are asked to tape lithium-based batteries as well as batteries of greater than 9 volts so they don't cause a fire while being transported to a recycling centre. Most commonly used batteries don't need to be taped unless their packaging identifies them as lithium-based. Lithium-based batteries are most commonly foun in cell phones, digital cameras and laptops. Also hearing aids,watches and keyless remotes typically involve button cells containing lithium. Cordless power tools use batery packs that are greater than 9 volts and/or lithium based. Batteries pose a special issue since they may contain harmful metals that can be dangerous to the environment and toxic to humans and animals.
