Correct battery disposal is important to the safety of us all. Even if they appear ‘dead’, they can hold a small charge that could start a fire. This fire could start in your garbage can, on the garbage truck or vehicle, or in the landfill. We have partnered with Call2Recycle© to offer a number of locations where you can safely recycle your batteries.
Locations include:
- Cummings Road Regional Transfer Station
- Foothills Boulevard Regional Landfill
- Mackenzie Regional Transfer Station
- McBride Regional Transfer Station
- Quinn Street Regional Recycling Depot
- Valemount Regional Transfer Station
- Vanway Regional Recycling Depot and Transfer Station
There are also private recycling depot locations and retailers that offer battery recycling with Call2Recycle©.
