Battery Disposal
Incorrect Battery Disposal Can Cause Fires
Batteries in common household items can be highly flammable and should not be placed in regular trash or recycling containers.
Store batteries in a safe place
Store batteries in non-metallic containers (plastic, cardboard, or glass) that do not conduct electricity if there is a spark.
Find a local drop-off location
Bring your batteries to a local drop-off site for proper disposal.
