Batteries are found almost everywhere in our daily lives. They are a necessity, but they contain hazardous substances that need to be properly recovered and disposed of. Stop hoarding those old batteries and drop them off so they can be properly dealt with.
Did you know that your old batteries can be recycled into things like silverware, pots, pans, new batteries and even golf clubs?
We accept single use, rechargeable and lead acid batteries for recycling.
5 Tips For Safe and Easy Battery Recycling
-
Safety first! Be sure to safely prep your batteries. There are two options: Bag or Tape. Option A: Bag each battery in its own clear plastic bag before placing it in a storage container. Option B: you can tape the terminals with clear packing, non-conductive electrical or duct tape, keeping label visible.
-
Stay cool. Store the batteries in a cool, dry place. Incidents can occur when batteries (or the devices they power such as a cellphone or tablet) are exposed to inclement or excessively hot weather. Store them in a plastic container; avoid metal.
-
Possible damage? If you see a swollen or bulging battery, immediately put it in a non-flammable material such as sand or kitty litter in a cool, dry place. DO NOT THROW AWAY. Contact the manufacturer or retailer immediately for instructions, especially if the label says it is Lithium or Lithium-Ion.

Timing is everything. Aim to drop batteries to recycle within six months, ensuring they are bagged or taped.
