Prepare your batteries for recycling Gather your batteries Remember: Anything that makes sounds, lights up or turns on without being plugged in contains a battery. Clean out your junk drawer: Spent batteries gather dust and can be a choking hazard for kids. Batteries may rust or leak after long periods of storage. If a battery has rust, leaks or has a white powder around the terminals, handle it with gloves. Prepare your batteries for recycling Place batteries in a clear plastic bag OR place clear tape on both the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of batteries to prevent fires. If you cannot remove the battery from the device, bring the entire device to a Hennepin County drop-off facility.

Although the initial cost of rechargeable batteries is higher, you will save money and reduce waste in the long run.
