Recycling Guide
Button Cell Batteries!
Batteries should never go in the trash. They contain toxic and corrosive metals and are considered hazardous waste.
Special Directions
FREE CURBSIDE COLLECTION:
The Town of Truckee offers a free battery recycling program through curbside collection (see instructions provided below):
Batteries can start fires when their terminals are allowed to touch, so put electrical tape on each battery terminal. Next, place batteries into a Ziploc bag, and then stack these bags on top of the trash. Do not place batteries on top of your recycling. These bags will be collected free of charge.
