You can also avoid a number of risks preventively. For example, when buying appliances, make sure that they can only be opened with a screwdriver or coin. Also buy your batteries in blister packs, as they are not as easy to open for children.

Can used batteries lie side by side?
For most batteries, it isn’t a problem for them to lie side by side, but if there are button cells in the mix, it's advisable to take extra precautions. The current in a battery is generated by the electricity flowing from pole to pole. When the + and - poles come into contact, a short circuit occurs (link in dutch).
Because button cells have such a flat shape, their positive and negative poles are very close together. If they come into contact with other batteries in the collection box, such as a 4.5 Volt or 9 Volt battery, or with other button cells, this can sometimes cause a short circuit. Used batteries are never completely empty.

The solution? Stick all button cells neatly on a strip of adhesive tape, this way you cover one of the poles with a 'protective layer', which eliminates the risk of a short circuit. For 4.5V and 9V you also cover the poles with a piece of tape or painting tape.
