DHEC launches ‘Be Battery Smart’ Campaign for South Carolina

ABC Columbia Staff,

COLUMBIA, S.C. — The Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) launched a campaign on battery safety today at the State House.

The “Take Charge: Be Battery Smart” Campaign focuses on the risks household batteries can pose to people’s health, safety, and the environment when not properly handled or disposed of.

Most South Carolina residents have opportunities to recycle batteries at no cost and are encouraged to learn more about battery recycling in their communities.

Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette joined DHEC for the announcement on Tuesday, Nov. 7.
