Please take home new memories and used batteries... |
More
than 100,000 used batteries from visitors go into
Bonaire's landfill each year. That is more than 6,000
pounds (2730 kg) of heavy metals and toxins - too much
for an island as small as Bonaire to safely handle.Corroding batteries leak these toxic chemicals into the soil, ground and, ultimately, the sea.
That is why we ask all visitors to please take your used batteries home with you for recycling or toxic waste disposal.
We hope you enjoy your visit. And when you pack up
your memories to go home, please pack your batteries too.
Masha danki!
