Don’t toss lithium-ion batteries or devices in the trash or regular recycling bins—they can start a fire. Drop them off at a legit battery recycling spot —it’s safer and way better for the planet. Visit Call2Recycle to find a drop-off location near you.

Charging something big like an e-bike, scooter, or power tool with a lithium-ion battery? Do it outside. Use a flat, dry area away from direct sunlight, anything wet, kids, or tripping hazards. And make sure your bike or device is secure—so it doesn’t fall while charging.

Girl Scout Troop visit!
We had a great time last night hosting Girl Scout Troop 70337 from Countryside Elementary for a Public Safety education visit. We went over some common safety items, talked about this year’s focus on battery and charging safety, and of course did a gear demonstration. And then everyone got to check out one of our fire engines. Great questions and some very knowledgeable scouts!

Charge any lithium-ion battery device on a hard surface—never on your bed, couch, or under a pillow. And don’t overcharge. Once it’s at 100%, unplug and move on.
