Batteries (household*)

Batteries cannot be disposed of in any bin. Please see below for safe disposal options for batteries. 

*The following household batteries are accepted: any brand of AA, AAA, C, D and 9V batteries (both rechargeable and non-rechargeable).

When you remove old batteries from your device, tape each end of the batteries using clear sticky tape. This prevents sparking and reduces the risk of fire. Button batteries should be taped on all sides.
For more battery disposal information and tips, read our blog post.
