CINCINNATI (WKRC) – Local fire departments are joining together to help prevent lithium-ion battery fires this holiday season. The batteries are notorious for igniting e-bikes, e-scooters, and trash cans if not discarded properly, so firefighters are collecting them for you. You will now have even more places to safely recycle lithium-ion batteries. Cincinnati Recycling and Reuse Hub started the recycling program in 2023 because lithium-ions aren’t like your typical battery.
