Batteries

Alkaline batteries manufactured in the United States no longer contain mercury. These batteries can be disposed of in the regular trash. Batteries often still have some charge left when disposed. Place a piece of tape securely over each terminal end of the alkaline battery before placing it in the trash, or place individual batteries in a strong plastic zip-top bag before placing in the trash.
Batteries, such as cellphone and rechargeable batteries, can be recycled at a number of stores that participate in the national call2cycle program. Find a recycling location.
Lead acid car batteries can be recycled for free at Auto Zone, Advance Auto and O'Reilly auto parts stores.
