JAKARTA Like other electronic devices, power banks can stop functioning due to several factors. When no longer in use, you may want to dump the portable electric charger.
However, please note that a power bank cannot be thrown away easily like any other trash. You need to understand how to dispose of the right bank to prevent fire risk or a nearby dangerous explosion.
Although the risk of a fire or a power bank explosion is low, fires caused by a damaged lithium-ion battery can still occur. Therefore, we need to be careful in disposing of electronic waste, especially power banks.
If you have a power bank that is no longer functional or withdrawn from circulation, make sure you throw it away according to local laws and regulations. You can search for recycling facilities that handle electronic waste around your area.
If no facilities are provided, you can work with people around your housing to collect the electronic waste you want to throw away. After that, you can contact the Environment Agency to get a pick-up service.
