What To Do With Return to A-Z Guide
Button batteries
Button cell, watch battery, and coin batteries (alkaline, silver oxide, zinc, lithium) are accepted for recycling at Washtenaw County's Home Toxics disposal site (appointments are required). These batteries are commonly used in watches, calculators, hearing aids, and other medical devices. Do not put batteries of any kind in your curbside recycling cart.
Recycle Right!
Do not put batteries of any kind in your curbside recycling cart. Batteries are not accepted in curbside recycling as they can cause fires, damage equipment, and create unsafe conditions for our workers.
Choose Zero Waste!
Aim to reduce the number of battery powered devices you use. Avoid using single-use batteries and switch to rechargeable batteries when possible.
Other Places These are Accepted:
- Batteries Plus accepts batteries for recycling at store locations
- Use Energizer's handy locator to find out where else you can take your batteries to be recycled
While we do our best to stay updated on alternative reuse and recycling locations, we recommend that you call locations before taking your item(s) to confirm that they currently accept them.
