2 Doraemon used-battery bins

Some Doraemon-shaped battery recycling containers were installed in the Beizhan subdistrict.

The idea to fashion the containers after figures in a popular Japanese manga series came after Cheng Kai, director of the subdistrict’s Party working committee, visited residents and heard their complaints about the lack of disposal facilities for used batteries.

“It’s good that most residents know it’s harmful to throw old batteries in with other household waste,” Cheng said. “They just didn’t know how to deal with the batteries.”

Greenery authorities were ordered to address the problem.

The battery recycling containers stand at the entrance to neighborhoods. Property management officials send people to empty the containers.
