Batteries (All Types)
Don’t throw batteries away! Recycle them.
EcoLights accepts all types of batteries for safe, responsible recycling and disposal.
The EPA estimates that over three billion batteries are purchased in the United States each year.
Batteries contain heavy metals and other materials which can pose a threat to the human safety and environment, and should be managed properly.
For a modest fee per pound, EcoLights will accept any battery for recycling and safe disposal, including:
Battery Type | Application |
| Alkaline | Remote controllers, scanners, digital cameras, CD players |
| Lithium Manganese | Handheld video games, electric toothbrushes, watches and pacemakers |
| Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd, rechargeable) | Remote controllers, scanners and portable radios |
| Nickel-Metal Hydride Batteries (NiMH) | Laptops, power tools, digital cameras |
| Lithium and Lithium Ion (rechargeable) | Cell phones and hand-held computing devices |
| Lead Acid Batteries (Automotive) | Cars, trucks, forklifts, tractors |
| Lead Acid Batteries (Dry cell rechargeable); | Battery back-ups |
| Zinc Chloride | Calculators and toys |
| Zinc Air | Handheld video games, electric toothbrushes, watches and pacemakers |
| Carbon-Zinc | Flashlights and products with batteries included (this battery has been largely replaced by the alkaline battery) |
| Silver Oxide (sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide) | Digital and LCD Watches |
If you have special or large-quantity battery recycling needs, Ecolights can work with you to develop
a responsible and cost-effective recycling solution.
