Now Accepting Car Batteries!
Did you know that Keep North Fulton Beautiful is now accepting car batteries for recycling free of charge?
Recycling car batteries is crucial because they contain hazardous materials like lead and sulfuric acid that can contaminate soil and water if improperly discarded. By recycling, we prevent this environmental damage and also recover valuable materials that can be reused in new products. It's a simple yet powerful action to protect our planet and conserve natural resources!
