Lithium-ion batteries should never go in your household trash or recycling bin. When damaged or crushed, they can spark and ignite, creating dangerous fires in collection trucks, transfer stations and recycling facilities.
In fact, lithium-ion batteries are one of the fastest-growing fire risks in the waste stream, with fires that can burn extremely hot and be difficult to extinguish.
Help protect your home, local workers and our community by properly disposing of lithium-ion batteries at an approved collection location.
