 Power Tool Batteries 

Battery Powered Tool use has exploded. " More than 3 million used power tool batteries (around 2,010 tonnes) reached the end of their life in 2012-13. The recycling rate for these batteries is not known, but is likely to be very low." (http://www.batteryrecycling.org.au/recycling/power-tool-battery-pilot) . Recycling keeps  toxic  metals from landfill, and saves precious resources. We should see more locations for Power Tool Battery recycling soon.  New Mitre 10 and Home hardware now collect house hold batteries and power tool batteries under the Ecobatt company.  

REDUCE 

Borrow a tool from   Upwey Township Tool Library, or friend,  rather than purchasing new.

 If purchasing battery powered tools choose items with a shareable battery
