A Dubai Company Offers A Smart Solution So EVERYONE Can Recycle Their Batteries Safely
We KNOW we should recycle batteries, but have you ever thought of why it’s so darn important?
It’s likely that the battery you drop in the bin contains toxic chemicals, featuring all of the nasties like lead, lithium or sulfuric acid. And if this battery ends up in a dump, chances are, those pollutants will leak, causing untold damage to the world around us like contaminating groundwater and damaging fragile ecosystems. EEk, no thanks!
To put an end to this in Dubai, Hitches & Glitches, part of the Farnek Group, who are a Dubai-based sustainable and technology-driven home maintenance specialists and who genuinely CARE about the environment are providing customers an EASY way to recycle batteries.
Hitches & Glitches will give you a battery recycle box, drop your batteries there and your part is done!
No one else is doing this and it’s great to see local companies thinking of innovative ways to help residents recycle.
Pass your used batteries onto the amazing team and they’ll do the hard work for you
Hitches & Glitches customers will get a branded box, this is where you’ll store your alkaline, lithium, ion, nickel or cadmium batteries (there are the most common household batteries) and on your next scheduled Hitches & Glitches visit, the team will pick ’em up.
The batteries are then delivered to their partners Enviroserve, one of the largest e-waste recycling companies in the world, where the batteries will be processed and diverted from landfill. Easy peasy!
Ditch pollution and save the environment: It’s simple tricks like this that can do a whole lot of good
The service is available to all Hitches & Glitches customers who have an existing contract with the maintenance specialists
