Signs of Trouble: Used Batteries



You may not have access to the trash of the neighbor or family member in 
question, but many times they're not concerned with covering up their
dangerous exploits.

It's normal to find burn barrels or piles of burned, discarded batteries
right out in the open, or in a container outside of the garage, studio, or 
shed being used in the making of meth.

Of course, if you spot someone on the front end of things buying an 
inordinate amount of batteries, or hoarding them in a workshop, that's
easy to put together, too.

Beyond the making of meth being extremely hazardous due to the toxicity
of the smoke--and the residue created by the manufacture--the
burning of batteries is dangerous due to potential flash fires and explosions.

Illegal disposal of batteries (in a yard, at the landfill, etc) is also harmful, 
as the poisons drain through the ground and contaminate the water table.

Be on the lookout for a concentration of batteries, or a disposal site on property.
