Free Smoke
Detector Batteries
The Darke County Solid Waste Management District along with Darke
County Homeland Security and EMA will team up with our local Fire
Departments to get the word out on a simple life-saving tip, "Change
Your Clock, Change Your Batteries." Replacing home smoke detector
batteries is a small and easy step that can mean the difference between
life and death.
In preparation for daylight-saving time on Sunday, November 6, the
district and your local fire departments want you to know that when you
change your clock, it's also time to take an extra minute to change the
batteries in your smoke detectors. Fresh batteries are critical in
insuring smoke detectors work when fire breaks out. Nonetheless,
changing those batteries is something people forget to do more often
than not.
On Saturday, October 25, 2014 from 8:00-12 Noon, the district will
underscore the importance of the "Change Your Clock, Change Your
Batteries" message by hosting a 9-volt battery exchange in conjunction
with the district’s household hazardous waste event.
