HOW TO SAFELY RECYCLE LITHIUM ION BATTERIES
Lithium ion batteries are many times more powerful than an alkaline single-use battery — and much, much more dangerous if improperly disposed of.
Lithium ion batteries are found in portable power tools such as drills, saws, and leaf blowers; and in electronics such as mobile phones, laptops, and tablets.
Rechargeable batteries can explode or cause a fire if they are crushed or short circuited.
The resulting fire could damage our facility, garbage truck, or worse, hurt you someone you love.
That’s why it’s very important that rechargeable batteries are not placed in your garbage or recycling bin. They can be taken to the Household Hazardous Waste Recycling Facility at the Davis Landfill where they can be property recycled.
If you live in Davis and Morgan counties, and you have these batteries, please make a trip to drop them off.
Residents of Davis and Morgan counties can drop off household quantities free of charge.
