Rechargeable batteries contain toxic metals and can’t be placed in home trash or recycling carts. They pose a threat if improperly disposed. In Bloomington, you can drop off button, lithium ion and all other rechargeable batteries at the South Hennepin Recycling and Problem Waste Drop-off Center, 1400 West 96th Street.
Single-use AA, AAA and other alkaline batteries are also accepted for recycling at the drop-off center. They do not contain hazardous material so they may be disposed of in the trash. Never place any battery in your recycling cart.
Hennepin County requires damaged lithium-ion batteries to be placed individually in a clear plastic bag. Single-use batteries should be placed in a clear plastic bag or have the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of batteries covered in clear tape to prevent fires.
