Battery, Alkaline

Many local retail stores and the drop-off locations listed below accept alkaline batteries free of cost. Contact specific location for details.

Since the late 1990s, alkaline batteries have no longer been manufactured using heavy metals, meaning they can be thrown away in the trash, although recycling is preferable. All other types of batteries are manufactured with heavy metals and must be recycled.

No matter whether a battery is rechargeable or not, it is safest to dispose of it as household hazardous waste
