As a first step, please determine the type of battery you have and then determine the appropriate disposal method. Note that regulations may vary in your municipality or state so please check your local regulations. If you are a business disposing of a large quantity of button cell batteries, please contact Energizer's Customer Service Line.

Everyday Use Batteries
Most everyday use batteries are alkaline and lithium, which in most states can be disposed of via your normal waste management process. This is possible because many years ago Energizer led the industry in eliminating heavy metals, such as mercury, from our products. Therefore, these products don’t contain any hazardous materials, as classified under federal EPA guidelines. |

Rechargeable Batteries
Most rechargeable batteries used today are considered non-hazardous based on their “metal” content, which is nickel metal hydride and lithium ion. Therefore, they can be disposed of according to US federal guidelines. We do, however, ask that consumers recycle their rechargeable batteries to capture those that do contain hazardous waste such as lead acid and nickel cadmium.
We encourage you to visit www.rbrc.org, the web site of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC), or call 1-800-BATTERY![]( "Call: 1-800-BATTERY") , to find a convenient recycling location. |
