Make sure you dispose of your lithium batteries the correct way! Howard County residents can bring them to our office @4102 Cartwright Dr. in Kokomo. NEVER place them in your trash, curbside recycling totes, or community recycling bins!

Even “dead” rechargeable batteries still hold enough charge to spark fires in garbage trucks.

Green washing is a term that refers to vague marketing meant to trick buyers into choosing products because they think they are good for the environment. Thankfully, in 2024 the Consumer Protection Agency released guidelines to help with consumer confidence. When you can, try to research the product/company to know whether you're being tricked or you're making a good purchase.
