Battery Recycling

Battery Recycling

We are a central drop-off point for domestic batteries in good condition.

Batteries are full of harmful chemicals that leach into our soils and waterways when they’re left to break down in landfills. By recycling batteries, we can make sure that the useful elements can be broken down and recovered for reuse.

Any batteries that are swollen, leaky, rusty or corroded cannot be accepted and should be taken to the Hazardous Battery Dropoff point at the Southern Landfill.
