  8. Battery Recycling Alkaline batteries made in the USA after 1994 do not contain mercury and are safe to dispose with trash if done so in small quantities. Duracell and Energizer stopped using mercury in 1984. Batteries with a green tree logo or the words “no added mercury” or “zero mercury added” are also safe to dispose with the trash. Please recycle the following types of Rechargeable Batteries: • Nickel cadmium (Ni-Cd), • Nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH), • Lithium ion (Li-ion), • Small lead acid ( < 2 lbs.) • Other Batteries • Button Batteries • Large Lead Acid Batteries (automotive) • Unknown Batteries • Car batteries containing lead should be recycled at waste management centers or may be “bought back” from auto retailers or service centers for their material value Call 1-800-8-BATTERY for the nearest location to recycle rechargeable batteries.
