Recycling Tip of the Week: Recycle Your Batteries--Do NOT Place them in Curbside Recycling or in the Trash

Batteries, including alkaline, lithium and button batteries (used in watches and hearing aids), can be brought to the blue collection tubes located in the lobby of Village Hall (open Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm) and in the Recycling Center Office (110 Secor Road, open Monday-Saturday, 8am-3pm) for recycling. Rechargeable and damaged batteries are not accepted. Rechargeable batteries can be brought to the Recycling Center and placed in the E-waste container. Batteries contain valuable metal such as lithium and nickel that can be extracted and recycled. Because they require special handling, batteries should never be placed in commingled recycling or in the trash.
