Disposing of Household Batteries

1. Many stores that sell batteries, phones or electronics will take used batteries back for recycling. Visit www.call2recycle.org  or Earth 911.com to find a retailer near you that will accept them.

2. Gather all your old, dead batteries. Check the labels carefully to identify any small rechargeable batteries and place all rechargeable batteries in one container.
3. Most of your used batteries will likely be regular household batteries in familiar sizes like "C", "A" and "AAA." Place all regular one-time use household batteries in a second container.

Take your batteries to one of the retail stores or recyclers listed below. This list may not include every option available to you.
