Battery Recycling Recycling

Commonly recyclable batteries include lead-acid car batteries, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, and nickel-cadmium batteries. Check local guidelines for details.

Recycling batteries prevents hazardous materials from polluting the environment and allows valuable metals to be reused.

Store batteries in a cool, dry place and use clear tape to cover terminals to prevent short circuits during transportation.

Batteries can be recycled at designated drop-off locations, such as electronics stores, recycling centers, or through manufacturer take-back programs.

Recycled batteries are processed to recover metals like lead, cobalt, and lithium, which are then used in new products.
