WHAT TYPES OF BATTERIES SHOULD I RECYCLE?
Recycle all Rechargeable Batteries.

• Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd)
• Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH)
• Lithium Ion (Li-ion)
• Nickel Zinc (Ni-Zn)
• Small Sealed Lead-less than 11 lbs. (Pb)

Rechargeable batteries can be found in cordless power tools, cellular and cordless phones, laptop computers, digital cameras, two-way radios, camcorders, and remote-control toys.  Rechargeable batteries sometimes look like regular alkaline batteries.  The label on the battery will indicate if it is rechargeable.  If it says “Alkaline”, dispose of it in the regular trash.

WHAT ABOUT BUTTON CELL BATTERIES?
Most button cell batteries still contain mercury.  These batteries can be brought to your County’s Household Hazardous Waste events.
