Treatment of dead batteries, 2005

1. Uncontrolled disposal methods include disposal in regular garbage.
2. Controlled disposal methods include returning the dead batteries to a supplier, depot or drop-off centre.
Notes: As a percentage of the 47% of all households who reported having dead batteries to dispose of in 2005.
Totals do not add to 100% since not all households discarded their dead batteries. Respondents may also have indicated they used other methods of disposal or that they still had them and/or didn't know what to do with them.
