Battery Recycling

Make a difference by recycling your used batteries at select Lambton County Libraries. Working with Call2Recycle, a national not-for-profit battery collection and recycling organization, 12 libraries were selected for the program. 

Not sure what type of batteries you have? Use this guide to help.

Battery Recycling Safety

Bag or tape batteries according to the guidelines below. Call2Recycle safety guidelines require the terminals of certain battery types to be protected to prevent contact with each other. For a complete list of batteries that must be protected, please see the terminal protection guidelines.

For lithium-ion, small-sealed lead acid or lithium primary and alkaline batteries that are 12V or more:

  • Place the battery in one of the clear bags provided with the Call2Recycle box, OR
  • Tape the terminal end with duct tape, electrical tape or another non-conductive tape for safety (make sure the chemistry is visible) before depositing.

If you do not know the chemistry/voltage of the battery you are recycling:

  • Bag or tape the terminal end with duct tape, electrical tape, or another non-conductive tape for safety (keeping the chemistry visible) before depositing.
  • You can use other clear, sealable plastic bags. Be sure to close or tie the bags before depositing them in the collection box.

All other batteries:

  • Deposit the battery directly in the Call2Recycle box at a participating library location.

Damaged Batteries:

  • Do not place damaged lithium or lithium-ion batteries, defective, or recalled batteries into the Call2Recycle collections box.
  • If you have a damaged battery, call Customer Service at 1.888.224.9764 for instructions on how to safely dispose of it.
