However, batteries don\u2019t last forever, meaning at some point, you have to get rid of the ones you have and replace them with new ones. Considering the high amounts of this type of waste though, it\u2019s important that old batteries are recycled rather than disposed in landfills. Fortunately, there are now many recycling facilities all over the country; so all you need to do is locate one near you.<\/p>\n<p>If you have so many used batteries in your home and you don\u2019t know what to do with them, it\u2019s best that you find a collection spot and take them there for recycling. By doing so, you will have played a big part toward limiting the amount of toxic waste released into the environment. This means you will create greener surroundings not just for yourself, but also for your children, and for future generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; From calculators and watches to hearing aids and kids cars, there are so many battery powered toys and gadgets that are used in homes throughout the UK.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[109,72,73,37,76,48,11,45],"class_list":["post-268","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-recycling-2","tag-battery","tag-eco","tag-eco-friendly","tag-environment","tag-guide-to","tag-recycle","tag-recycling","tag-tips"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=268"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":297,"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268\/revisions\/297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
