About
Do you have any old batteries in your house and are unsure of what to do with them? We have a Solution. You can drop off your old batteries at a Cirba Solutions location to be recycled.
Batteries contain valuable materials that can be broken down and reused to help produced a variety of things including fertilizer, planes, and even new batteries.
1. Collect all of your used batteries.
2. Put household batteries in a clear non-conductive bag to be recycled. Put clear tape over the battery terminals if it’s over 9 volts or a lithium battery.
3. Check your batteries for damage. If the battery is swollen, cracked, or recalled, place it in a clear non-conductive bag full of sand.
Do NOT throw damaged batteries in the trash!
4. Store your batteries in a dry, cool location away from any metals until they can be properly recycled.
5. Visit the Cirba Solutions website for battery recycling solutions and check with your local community for drop-off locations.
