Help us to protect your health, used batteries are a killer

Did you know that a watch-type button battery can contaminate up to 167 000 liters of drinking water?

This is because of the heavy metals it contains, such as lead, cadmium, nickel and even mercury...

When you consume water contaminated with these types of metals, or consume animal foods that were exposed, these metals bioaccumulate in living tissues and passing through the food chain can reach humans, raising the risk of serious diseases such as cancer.

To prevent this from happening, it is necessary not to throw them directly into the household garbage, but to separate them and take them to an appropriate disposal center (collection centers for  their correct treatment.

COTAS de Moroleón-Ciénega Prieta A.C. each year organizes together with local authorities collection centers and is responsible for taking them to appropriate centers for proper disposal and / or recycling.

However, there is no one who pays for the transfer and final treatment, although it should be a shared responsibility between manufacturers, consumers and authority.

So we ask you to support this work, with which it will be possible to maintain our environment for the enjoyment of future generations in quality and quantity, we take care of the water, we take care of the environment and the health of people.
