Greenville Fire Department Hosts Lithium-Ion Battery Drop-Off Event During Fire Prevention Week

The Greenville Fire Department is organizing a lithium-ion battery drop-off event at Unity Park on Tuesday, October 7, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

This initiative aims to provide residents with a safe method to dispose of old or damaged lithium-ion batteries, which can pose significant fire risks if discarded improperly.

Improper disposal of these batteries in regular trash can lead to fires, making proper disposal crucial for community safety.

As part of Fire Prevention Week, the event underscores the importance of handling lithium-ion batteries responsibly.

Residents who miss the drop-off event are encouraged to utilize other designated battery recycling locations to ensure safe disposal.
