Battery Recycling

Battery Recycling Update

As announced last month, the LGT EAC is revising the battery recycling program. Batteries cannot be dropped off at the township building anymore, except on designated dates and times. Batteries will be collected for recycling on the second Saturday of the odd months from 9-11am, in the parking lot of the township building. The first collection is Saturday, March 12th. This collection is only open to LGT residents, and proof of residency will be required. Residents will be required to properly tape certain batteries before dropping them off (see list below), and are asked to do so before arriving to speed up the drop-off process.

All lithium batteries and any battery over 9V must have the terminals covered with clear tape to prevent accidental short circuiting, which can cause a fire, during shipping.  Batteries that are accepted for recycling are:

  • Alkaline
  • Zinc Carbon
  • Nickel Cadmium (NiCd)
  • Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)
  • Lithium-Ion
  • Lithium Primary
  • Mercury Batteries
  • Silver Oxide
  • Button Cells (could be lithium)
  • Lead Acid – Non-Spillable
