Your batteries are toxic – dispose of them in the special garbage collection

Recycle batteries during the week of April 28

Batteries dead? Don’t let your old batteries go to waste!  Put household batteries out for recycling during the week of April 28 on your regular collection day. Place used household batteries in a clear, sealable plastic bag. Sealed bags are to be placed on top of your closed Green Bin for collection.

Batteries are not garbage as up to 92 per cent of battery components are recyclable and recoverable. By taking part in the battery collection program, you can help prevent mercury, cadmium and other heavy metals from entering the environment.
