The Environmental Protection Bureau reminds the public that if a power bank is found to be swollen, deformed, damaged, or otherwise abnormal, it should be stopped from use immediately and must not be disassembled, squeezed, or thrown into general trash. When recycling waste power banks, avoid collisions and squeezing. They can be turned in at recycling points such as resource recycling trucks, mass merchandisers, supermarkets (e.g., PX Mart, Wanjiafu), chain convenience stores (e.g., 7-ELEVEN, OK, FamilyMart), and chain cleaning and cosmetics retailers (e.g., Watsons, Cosmed), to avoid safety risks caused by improper disposal of waste power banks and to allow the reusable resources in them to continue to provide value.
