Every household and business should be provided battery bins like the ones made by Ecobin Australia.
Local Councils should distribute them in their municipality with QR codes that outline where the batteries are to be disposed.
Everyone having access to a little battery bin will significantly reduce the number of batteries going to landfill. It won’t solve the problem, but it will help. Making things easier for people is key.

Some information about Ecobin:
Once upon a time, in a far away place called Melbourne, Victoria, Ecobin was born. The year was 2008 and it was World Environment Day, when a green-loving, future-conscious, environmentalist had a dream to save the world. “But how?” He thought to himself.
Then, a lightbulb appeared (metaphorically, of course) above his head. CEO and founder, John Engelander, noticed that, unlike at home, waste was not being separated properly in the workplace.
John knew he could create a product that was sustainable, would make waste separation simpler and was, dare he say it, cool!
Today, our locally made, sustainable bins can be found in homes and workplaces around the country.
Sustainability is at the core of everything we do and diversion from landfill is our mission. We are so proud of the work we have done to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfill. Want to be part of the green revolution? Starting is easy!
