Batteries
See below for the different types of batteries and their proper disposal
When in doubt, always see the attendant
Alkaline
Alkaline batteries (including zinc carbon and zinc chloride batteries) are the standard AA, C and D
cells, and 9-volts used to power products like flashlights, remote controls and small electronic
devices. Alkaline batteries on the market now are not hazardous
and can be disposed of as solid waste.
Alkaline batteries may be placed in with your regular household trash
Button Cell
Button cell batteries are the small batteries
mostly used in hearing aids, calculators and
watches. They may contain mercury, a toxic
heavy metal, making it illegal to dispose of them
in the trash. Handle them as a universal waste,
and keep them separate from non-mercury
batteries. Cover the battery contacts with tape,
or place batteries in plastic bags, individually. Did you know that damaging a button cell battery can cause a fire? That's why proper disposal is so important.
Button cell batteries should be brought to the attendant
Lead Acid
Lead-acid batteries include those used in vehicles, motorcycles, boats and emergency lighting.
Automotive batteries should be brought to Area J,
all others see the attendant
Rechargeable
Rechargeable batteries are nickel-cadmium (Ni-
Cd), lithium ion (Li-ion), nickel metal hydride
(Ni-MH) and small, sealed lead-acid (Pb) batteries
used to power electronic devices like phones,
computers and cameras. These batteries cannot
be disposed of as solid waste because they
contain cadmium, lithium and lead, which are
toxic metals.
