Where can I dispose of alkaline batteries?

I know that "Batteries Plus" has a battery disposal box. I don't know if they are for customers only, or not.

It's very good that you even think of this, I'm glad to see someone taking the initiative to look. I quit using those types of batteries years ago, for that reason. I use all nicad rechargables, which you can get, and dispose of at "Batteries Plus".

I believe that all auto parts stores have battery disposal also, but I don't know if they carry that to the alkaline battery level. The batteries they dispose of are primarily Lead / acid batteries.

Maybe these pages can set some light on your question:

I hope this will help you. Keep up the good thinking!!! :-)

maximum cities have a risky Waste depot the place boxes of old batteries and old automobile batteries may be dropped off. some actually have a %. up provider. seem in yellow pages under city centers or on your cities web site . the city of North Bay publishes a recycling calendar .
