Local case study ... A member was about to dispose of a
small hand-held vacuum cleaner that had stopped working
when I looked underneath and noticed there was a bin symbol
with a cross through it and the letters Cd (symbol for cadmium).
That was a surprise! It will be going to the
HHW (hazardous household waste) collection along with 6 spent batteries. |
