Normally, these cells are not meant to be recharged and after use they are supposed to be disposed away. There is still no better way of disposal given by the producer to the consumer on how to dispose their dry cells after use .So what the consumer does when the dry cells have no more power is recharging the cells under direct sunlight and re-using them once again.

If they are no longer powerful they are thrown into a pit or in the compound without caring the risks behind that and for the few who are aware of the risks, they have no disposal alternative. In that case who is to blame? Because the consumer needs these dry cells since he or she cannot afford the cost of electricity or solar energy and then the producer doesn't indicate how it should be disposed after use.

The only thing indicated is warning DO NOT DISPOSE OFF IN FIRE. This to the ordinary Kenyan means you can dispose it anywhere apart from the fire.
