Lithium-ion batteries are prohibited from disposal in Keene’s and all of New Hampshire’s landfills and incinerators. When crushed or damaged in any way, they can ignite and cause fires. These batteries are used in items such as:
Portable electronics such as cell phones, laptops, tablets, cameras, wireless headphones, speakers, toothbrushes, and other rechargeable electronic devices,
Automotive vehicles,
Electric bikes and scooters,
Lawncare equipment,
Cordless power tools, and

The Monadnock Aging & Disability Resource Center (ServiceLink) at 105 Castle Street is opening its lobby for people to sit and cool down for a bit. Are there other businesses or locations in Keene that are opening their air-conditioned spaces to help people who otherwise don't have a place to get out of the heat? Please let us know in the comments, or DM us.
Thank you to all who are helping out during this difficult time for many people.
