Don’t toss lithium-ion batteries or devices in the trash or regular recycling bins; they can start a fire. Drop them off at a legit battery recycling spot. It’s safer and way better for the planet. Find a drop-off location at call2recycle.org #FirePreventionWeek.

Charging something big like an e-bike, scooter or power tool with a lithium-ion battery? Do it outside. Use a flat, dry area away from direct sunlight, anything wet, kids or tripping hazards. More: rdcrss.org/470k24W #FirePreventionWeek

Anything with a lithium-ion battery—phones, laptops, e-bikes, power tools —can become a fire hazard if it’s not charged safely. Always use the charger that came with the device or one approved by the manufacturer. #FirePreventionWeek.

Charge any lithium-ion battery device on a hard surface—never on your bed, couch, or under a pillow. And don’t overcharge. Once it’s at 100%, unplug and move on. Charge Into Fire Safety for #FirePreventionWeek.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK - Before you buy anything with a lithium-ion battery, do your homework. Check the packaging and product for a mark from a nationally recognized testing lab—that stamp means it meets real safety standards. rdcrss.org/434pcM3
