Lithium-Ion Battery Safety Tips

Lithium-Ion Battery Safety Flyer

Never put lithium-ion batteries in the trash.

The Battery Network provides a map of locations where lithium-ion batteries can be dropped off for recycling, free of charge (select "High Energy Battery above the map). Many retailers such as Home Depot, and Lowes collect lithium-ion batteries for recycling.

Lithium-ion batteries are also accepted at Montgomery County Household Hazardous Waste Events. HHW events are only open to residents. Residents may attend any of the scheduled events in Montgomery County, as well as those in Bucks County, Chester County, Delaware County, and Philadelphia .

Lithium-ion batteries are not accepted at Township Clean Up Weekends or Anything With a Plug events.
