Battery recycling FAQs

Yes, we accept and process all household batteries onsite for recycling in Elburn.

Every year, billions (yes, that’s billions) of batteries are improperly disposed of by people who toss them in the trash. The result is that they end up in landfills, begin to corrode and break down and leach toxic metals (including lead) into the ground and groundwater.

We team up with GoRecycle to recycle household batteries, covering both single-use and rechargeable types. Our job is to manage the recycling process, ensuring everything is done by the book, with all the right permits in place. This partnership helps us recycle batteries effectively, keeping in step with our goals for sustainability and environmental care.

Thankfully, there’s a way to divert household batteries from landfill and responsibly recycle them. Our partner’s recycling process allows valuable metals to be recovered from the used batteries, meaning they can be repurposed as materials for the manufacturing of products such as silverware, pots and pans, new batteries, and even golf clubs! All batteries regardless of type are “terminaled out” for safety at our facility.
