Skip the Bin | Turn Your Batteries In

Skip the bin! Turn your batteries in.

Never place rechargeable batteries in a trash or recycling cart. Lithium-ion batteries power many of the rechargeable devices we use every day. When placed in household trash or recycling carts, these batteries can become damaged and spark dangerous fires in collection trucks and waste facilities.

Protect workers, equipment and the community by always turning in used batteries at a designated drop-off location. Batteries built into rechargeable devices should remain inside the device and should not be removed.

Turning in used batteries also keeps critical minerals out of landfills, reducing waste, conserving resources and decreasing the need for additional mining.
