How to Recycle Batteries Safely

Instead of tossing used batteries into the trash, designate a specific bin or container for battery recycling. Make sure your container is:
• Non-metal – plastic and glass containers are great choices
• Clean of any metal debris or oily food residue

Protect Terminals on Lithium Ion Batteries:

Option 1: Tape Terminial

• Cover the terminals with clear packing tape, duct tape or electrical tape
• Be sure not to cover the brand name or chemistry on the label

Option 2: Bag and Seal

• Place each battery in a clear, sealable / zipped bag.
