I'm not actually clear how the building would deal with the problem either! Everyone's trash goes down one garbage chute. I'm not sure exactly how many units are in my building, but some quick math makes me think it's well over 100.

Every New Yorker is familiar with buildings putting up signs admonishing residents for not properly separating their recycling. If it's a recurring problem, the super will inspect it before putting it out.

The bigger issue is we don’t have an easy way to detect batteries in trash before they’ve taken out a truck. So this discussion is largely hypothetical.
