Recycling Used Batteries

Did you know that over 150,000 tons of disposable batteries end up in our landfills every year?

Of course those don't last forever, either. When they just won't charge anymore, use the tool below to find a place to drop them off!







Still can't quite kick the alkaline habit? That's okay! You can recycle those too. Find a location at earth911.
