We Recycle

Batteries Plus is leading the charge to recycle spent batteries and protect our environment!

Recycling of spent batteries reduces waste in our landfills, stops harmful chemicals from contaminating soil and water and preserves our environment by decreasing the need for new raw materials from the Earth.

Batteries Plus leads by example and recycles the majority of the batteries we sell.  We offer complete recycling solutions for spent lead acid, NiCd (non-liquid), NiMH (non-liquid) and Lithium Ion battery types.  Additional services including the collection and recycling of batteries from businesses and the recycling of other battery chemistries are available. Contact your nearest Batteries Plus store for full details. To find a store, call 1-800-677-8278 or use the Store Locator.

Battery Recycling Highlights

  • Lead-acid batteries are the environmental success story of our time. More than 97 percent of all battery lead is recycled. Lead-acid batteries top the list as the most highly recycled consumer product. Compare them to:
    • 55% of aluminum soft drink and beer cans
    • 45% of newspapers
    • 26% of glass bottles
    • 26% of tires
  • A typical new lead-acid battery contains 60 to 80 percent recycled lead and plastic. This means the recycling process can go on indefinitely!

Where We Recycle

Batteries Plus partners with EPA-compliant and inspected facilities to recycle spent batteries. We are proud to support battery industry recycling initiatives through the Battery Council International (BCI). Click Here for info on BCI.
