FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LEWIS COUNTY SOLID WASTE REMINDS RESIDENTS TO REMOVE
BATTERIES BEFORE DISPOSAL
LOWVILLE, NY- Lewis County
Solid Waste would like to remind residents that batteries must be removed
from items before they are disposed of at the Solid Waste Station.
The station has a
designated area for proper battery disposal. If you are unsure where an
item or battery should be placed, please stop in the office and ask a staff
member before disposing of it.
This reminder
comes after the Lewis County Solid Waste Station experienced four
battery-related fires in the past 30 days. Batteries can pose a serious
fire risk when they are placed in the general waste stream or disposed of
incorrectly.
We appreciate
everyone’s cooperation in helping keep our employees, customers, and
facility safe. When in doubt, please ask before you dispose.
For additional
information, please contact the Lewis County Solid Waste Department at 315-
376-5101.
