Preparing Batteries for Recycling Drop-Off

Reclaimed is now a drop-off location for battery recycling through Call2Recycle.

In order to drop-off batteries at Reclaimed, you must prepare them first.

Instructions

  • Before you leave the house, wrap a piece of tape over both flat ends of EACH battery, covering the terminals. (This prevents the terminals from touching, potentially causing sparks that lead to fire).

  • DO NOT bring any corroded, exploded, or otherwise damaged batteries to Reclaimed. We are unable to do anything with them, and once again - we have a very flammable building.

  • Bring your taped, dead batteries to Reclaimed and drop them off in the box in our lobby.

  • We will also have a roll of tape available in the lobby, if you don’t have any at home.

    • If for some reason you are unable to tape your own batteries AND they are undamaged, you can leave them with a small cash donation and we will tape them for you.
