Question

Denzel's mom has asked him to organize the family's trash for disposal. Which of these items should he put with the hazardous waste?
a. aluminum cans
b. Used batteries
c. vegetable waste

Answer 1

The answer would be used batteries. You would be able to recycle the vegetable waste within fertilizing and/or throw it away safely by disposing it in a trashcan since it is not a hazard towards the environment. As for aluminum cans, they are recyclable and are easy to use again once it is filtered through the system. However, batteries are NOT recyclable nor easy to dispose because they can release Alkaline which can harm the environment.

The correct answer is option B
