Battery Disposal

Please DO NOT place batteries in your trash or recycling bin. 

Batteries are the leading cause of fires at waste facilities. 

Lithium ion batteries supply power to many kinds of devices, including smart phones, laptops, scooters, e-cigarettes, cordless power tools, smoke alarms, and toys. Handle these batteries carefully. In rare instances, they can cause a fire or explosion. 

Please note, small standard household batteries, button batteries, and small tool batteries are accepted at the Renfrew Landfill, Renfrew Town Hall, Renfrew Library and various local retailers year-round. Car, boat, RV, e-mobility and large power tool batteries are accepted at the Household Hazardous Waste Depot during it operating season.
