Mail In Battery Recycling Boxes

Pre-buy a drop-box, collect batteries until you fill the box, then ship it to a recycling center.  Boxes are fairly expensive, but they hold a lot of weight, and much of the cost of the box is to cover shipping.

Prices start around $77 for a small residential container (up to 50 lbs.) to a few thousand dollars for large commercial containers. Not all batteries are accepted.  Please check which products can be returned before you buy your box.

Think about funding a battery recycling collection box for your business or community group!

Did You Know…

Over 11 million tons of glass bottles and jars are thrown into landfills each year even though glass is 100% recyclable. Try reusing your glass containers for bulk grocery storage and craft projects.
