Someone probably threw batteries away in the trash. It unfortunately happens more often than it should. We have a lot of e-waste… and not enough education on it. If an item can be charged… it almost certainly contains an internal battery, usually lithium, and cannot be tossed in the trash (even if it stopped working, it’s not safe to toss).
Oh man I hope everyone stays safe
first secor now ya 😭🤦🏿♂️
