We need Lebanon County’s help!
Rechargeable Batteries containing metals such as Lithium and Nickel, can spark and explode when damaged. Single-Use Batteries that contain lithium may spark and cause fires if damaged or if their terminal ends touch. Fires in recycling and garbage trucks, recycling facilities, and landfills are on the rise.
Help protect our employees, refuse and recycling collectors, processors, property, and the Lebanon County community. Please keep all batteries out of trash cans and recycling bins.
GLRA will accept all rechargeable and single-use batteries for FREE at its Electronics Recycling Center, located at 1805 Russell Road.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES are commonly found in cordless power tools, cordless phones, laptops, cellphones, cameras, two-way radios, and medical equipment (portable glucose monitor, thermometer, etc.).
SINGLE-USE BATTERIES cannot be recharged and must be disposed of once they wear out. Single-Use batteries are most commonly used in low-drain devices, such as flashlights, clocks, watches, remote controls, smoke detectors, keyless entry remotes, toys, and hearing aids.
EACH individual battery MUST BE no more than 11 Pounds and under 300 Wh to be accepted and EACH individual battery MUST BE placed in an INDIVIDUAL clear plastic storage/ziplock bag.
HERE’S WHY…
Batteries may hold a residual charge even when they appear dead. When this battery comes into contact with other batteries or metal, a spark or heat can occur. Unprotected battery terminals are dangerous. Sparks and heat can cause smoke, fires and explosions resulting in property damage or physical injury.
Bagging is the quickest and easiest way to protect battery terminals.
Remember ONLY ONE battery per clear storage bag! No matter how tedious that sounds, that is the rule if you want to recycle your batteries for FREE at our location. Clear plastic storage bags are PROVIDED FOR FREE!
Please do your part and properly dispose of your Rechargeable and Single-Use batteries at Greater Lebanon Refuse Authority’s Electronics Recycling Center located at 1805 Russell Road.
