Q. What should I do with batteries?A. Alkaline batteries, used mostly in toys and flashlights, can be thrown away with regular trash. NickelCadmium (Ni-Cd), Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH), Lithium Ion (Li-ion) and Small Sealed Lead (Pb) can berecycled at special bins located at Lowes, Home Depot or Best Buy. Always call first before making the trip.
Lead Acid, (automotive, motorcycle, etc.) should be taken to any store that sells lead acid batteries. If you are purchasing a new lead acid battery, most places give a discount off the purchase of the new battery when you bring the old one in.
Q. Can I recycle envelopes with plastic windows?A. Yes, you may recycle paper envelopes with plastic windows. Bag or bundle them along with other accept-able mixed paper and place in your curbside bin. These may also be recycled along with mixed paper at any of our recycling drop off locations in the mixed paper compartment.
Q. Can I recycle corrugated cardboard boxes with packing tape attached?A. Yes, you may recycle corrugated cardboard boxes with packing tape attached. Always flatten corrugated cardboard before recycling.
If you have a recycling question, please email Amy Schirf, the Authority’s Education Coordinator at aschirf@centrecountyrecycles.org.
