Alkaline Batteries (AA, AAA, C & D)

Since January 1992, many Alkaline batteries are manufactured with "no mercury added". These types of batteries (your typical household AA, AAA, C & D batteries) are classified by the federal government as non-hazardous waste and safe for disposal with your regular household trash. 

Car Batteries (Sealed Lead Acid Battery)

Car batteries may be returned to any location that sells them, regardless of whether you bought it there or not.
