Currently, most types of batteries can be recycled. Some batteries can be recycled easily while others need to be recycled with care.
This includes :
- Alkaline Batteries - AAA, AA, C Cell, D Cell Batteries and 9 Volt Batteries
- Lithium Ion, Lithium Polymer and Lithium Metal - Phone, Camera, Watch and Laptop Batteries
- Nickel Cadmium - Re-chargeable Batteries, Batteries in Power tools, Toys, Remote Control Devices and Portable Electronics
- Lead Acid - Automotive Batteries
- Zinc Carbon Batteries
Batteries that contain high level of toxic components, are handled with great care and recycled through a controlled-temperature process. e.g. Mercury Batteries.
