Background: Every year, thousands of fires caused by batteries happen in the home, at offices, and at recycling centers. When thrown away, the batteries in old Halloween decorations and costumes, toys, tools, phones, and so much more can easily spark, igniting dangerous fires that are incredibly difficult to extinguish. You have the power to stop them. By bringing your used batteries to Woodsy’s Washington Battery Roundup, you’re not just cleaning your house and office; you’re protecting our firefighters, sanitation workers, and the entire community.
Notes: This is not a recurring event. It will be hosted on the front steps of the Capitol building (in the roundabout between the Capitol and Supreme Court).
