Recycle household batteries safely at your local MCG office.
IMPORTANT SAFETY REMINDER
Do not place batteries in household trash or curbside recycling bins.
Lithium-ion batteries and devices containing them can be damaged or crushed during collection and sorting, creating a serious fire hazard. Proper battery recycling helps protect people, equipment, and the environment.
WHY SHOULD WE RECYCLE BATTERIES?
Battery recycling helps protect our communities, reduce environmental harm, and recover valuable materials that can be used again.
PREVENTS FIRES
Lithium-ion batteries and devices containing them should never go in household garbage or curbside recycling bins. If batteries are damaged or crushed during transport or sorting, they can short-circuit, spark, and start fires.
PROTECTS SOIL & WATER
Many battery types contain metals and chemicals that can be harmful if they leak or are improperly managed at the end of their life. Keeping batteries out of the trash helps reduce the risk of environmental contamination.
CONSERVES VALUABLE MATERIALS
Battery recycling helps recover materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, aluminum, steel, and plastics, so they can re-enter the supply chain rather than be lost in landfills.
