Description

Sealed lead acid batteries and similar backup batteries are accepted when safely handled.

Considerations before bringing it

Keep batteries upright. Do not bring leaking or cracked batteries without contacting us first.

Data and privacy prep

Lead acid batteries do not store customer data.

Best way to bring it to us

Tape terminals when loose and place batteries in a sturdy box or bin. Terminals touching can lead to a short and a fire. Research proper handling techniques.

What happens after drop-off

Batteries are isolated from other electronics and routed through appropriate battery recycling channels.
