How can I identify my batteries?

Visit our battery types page to see if any of the photos seem to match the batteries you have. Additionally, send us the model number or manufacturer and we’d love to help you identify what you have. Misidentification of batteries during recycling can lead to dangerous shipping and recycling incidents.

What should I do if I only have a few batteries to recycle?

No problem. Our partners at Call2Recycle are efficient and well-equipped to solve battery disposal needs for small scale battery loads of up to 1,000 lbs. Visit the Call2Recycle website or Contact Us and we can point you in the right direction!

How do I recycle single use batteries?

Single use batteries do have some materials that can be recycled. Recycling single use batteries is most effective when bulk quantities are stored up and mailed in to a recycling center or a local collection location. Visit earth911.com for further information.

How do you dispose of a car battery?

Car batteries should never be thrown in the trash or in a dumpster. They must be recycled appropriately. If you have a large volume of these (60 or more) contact us for a recycling proposal. If you have less, then call your local hardware store or auto repair shop to find a location where you can drop off your spent car battery.
