Greetings, fellow recyclers - it is I, HypnoCat from !
Did you know v**es contain batteries hidden within them?
If we throw v**es or electricals with batteries in our general rubbish, they can get crushed and cause dangerous fires in bin lorries and recycling centres. 🚛🔥
Big puff? Pods? Rechargeables? Like anything with a plug, battery or cable, all of these electricals must NEVER be thrown in the bin and must always be recycled.
Repeat after me, my furless friends… I wiiiill recycle ALL my v**es separately from my household rubbish and recycling.
Recycle your v**es at your local retailer.
Visit to find all your local v**e and other electrical recycling points.
Gooood humans.
