Household batteries are responsible for between 50% and 70% of all heavy metals found in landfills. Though we can cut that down by using rechargeable batteries, even they will eventually die, and then they end up in the landfill too.
There are recycling programs available for both rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries. During the month of February, put your used household batteries in your empty bin for pick-up and we will get them to a recycling program for you.

You can recycle all small household rechargeable batteries year round at participating locations in the US and Canada through the nonprofit Call2Recycle.org. Rechargeable batteries are found in cordless electronics such as laptop computers, cell phones, camcorders, digital cameras, power tools, cordless phones, two-way radios, electric toothbrush or razor, remote control toys, cordless vacs, etc... These batteries can be charged up to 1,000 times and last between 2-5 years depending on frequency of use. When they eventually lose their ability to hold a charge, they can be recycled at no cost at countless retail locations.
