Used and Unused Household Batteries

Alkaline or lithium batteries may be recycled at Golden Age Foundation battery recycling events or at the GRF battery recycling container located on the west side of Building 5 (off the alleyway). When recycling 9-volt batteries, put them in individual plastic bags to keep them separated from other batteries or place tape over both the terminals. In rare cases, these batteries can cause fires if not handled carefully.

When preparing your documents for a paper shredding recycling events, go over all your documents to ensure metal pieces are not included. Items such as metal paper clips, binders with metal rings, letter openers, spoons, razor blades and small batteries could get caught in the shredding gears and catch on fire.

Recycling household waste the right way keeps everyone safe.
