Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out dustbin (see below). This symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of in household waste.
For batteries containing more than 0.0005% mercury by mass, more than 0.002% cadmium by mass or more than 0.004% lead by mass, the chemical name of the pollutant used is shown under the dustbin symbol - "Cd" stands for cadmium, "Pb" for lead and "Hg" for mercury.
