See, this guy I know is a garden supply guy, so he knows how to get a crate of bees, okay, and he got me one because we wanted to do an experiment… anyway their all dead now and should I put them out with the recycling or with the trash? Recycling is picked up on Monday, please help.
You go and take your cans to a recycling center, but what happens then?
Who do they sell it to ?
I found a broken cellphone and a lithium battery by the side of the road yesterday. I too it home, and out of curiosity, smashed it open with a hammer to see what’s inside it (it’s actually pretty cool. The inside of a cell-phone has an extraordinary amount of miniaturization in it, and in particular, the circuit board looks like a miniature version of the circuit boards I used to play around with as a kid). After I was done with that, I took a hammer to the battery (outside, of course, so that it wouldn’t burn anything important), and to my surprise, not only did it start leaking a clear fluid and giving off an odor that reminded me of the acid my podiatrist used to treat my ingrown toenail, but it got really hot.
So I was wondering, why did it get hot? Was it electricity stored in the battery (I’m not sure if the battery had power in it or not)? Was it heat from an exothermic reaction? And if the latter’s the case, what was reacting? The metal covering of the battery? The paper and plastic covering? The concrete under it? I’m curious what was generating the heat.
After I was done, I wasn’t sure what to do with it (I don’t think you can recycle punctured batteries) so I buried it, cleaned the hammer, and washed my hands. Also, I found today that I’d accidentally gotten a few drops on my shoe somehow and it burned the plastic covering of them (didn’t go all the way through to my feet, but the shoes are ruined and I feel like a damn fool).
