Lithium-ion batteries power many everyday items, including cell phones, laptops, tablets, power tools, e-bikes, rechargeable household devices and toys. Unfortunately, fires caused by improperly discarded lithium-ion batteries are on the rise. The City of Daytona Beach reminds residents that these batteries should never be placed in household garbage or recycling bins because they can ignite when damaged or crushed during collection and processing, posing a serious risk to sanitation workers, collection vehicles and waste facilities. Residents who have questions about proper battery disposal or solid waste collection may contact the Solid Waste Division at (386) 671-8670, Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. ?
