Batteries

You can help prevent fires at solid waste facilities. Keep lithium and rechargeable batteries out of your garbage and recycling carts, and drop them off for proper disposal, instead.

How to Recycle

Recycle your rechargeable or lithium batteries — those often found inside electronics such as laptops and cell phones — at the Electronic Recovery Center. No charge and no appointment necessary for Scott & Rock Island County residents!

Please note: The Electronics Recovery Center cannot accept batteries with a capacity of 300 or more Watt-hours (abbreviated Wh).
