• Take to Hazardous Waste Collection Site

Batteries: When batteries are discarded they become �hazardous waste,� and in California those products are barred from landfills. This rule applies to batteries of all sizes (AAA, AA, C, D, button cell, 9 volt, etc.), both rechargeable and single-use. Used batteries can be taken to a household hazardous waste disposal facility, an authorized recycling facility, or a universal waste handler for proper disposal. Some retailers even offer battery recycling. For more information about where to drop off used batteries for recycling, visit the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation's battery Drop Off Locations database or CalRecycle's battery recycling webpage.
