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 recycleyourbatteries.ca to find a drop-off location near you.

Charge Into Fire Safety for Fire Prevention Week.

Anything with a lithium-ion battery—phones, laptops, e-bikes, power tools —can become a fire hazard if it’s not charged safely. Always use the charger that came with the device or one approved by the manufacturer. If the cord only works when you bend it just right, it’s time to replace it.

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.

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.
