STEP ONE | COLLECT BATTERIES
When you find dead batteries or replace batteries at their end-of-life, collect them in a non-metal container.
Avoid placing loose batteries in drawers or containers that contain other metal objects such as coins, paper clips or screws.
Use a non-metal container to collect your batteries, such as an old yogurt container, milk jug or plastic storage bin.
STEP TWO | PROTECT THE BATTERIES
- Store your container of batteries in a cool, dry place. Room temperature is fine, but avoid direct sunlight or extreme heat.
- Some batteries pose a risk of sparking if they rub against other batteries, metals or potentially flammable materials. This could result in fires, personal injury or other damage.
- Reduce the risk of sparks by protecting the terminals of lithium, small sealed lead acid (SSLA), alkaline over 12V, and button/coin cell batteries using one of these options:
Tape the Terminals
Cover the terminals* with clear packing tape, duct tape or electrical tape
Bag & Seal
Place each battery in a clear, sealable / zipped bag. Zip-seal or produce bags recommended.
STEP THREE | DROP OFF THE BATTERIES
- Avoid corrosion by dropping your batteries off every 3 months or less. This keeps recycling convenient while avoiding oozy messes.
- Find your nearest drop-off location in Regina.
