Batteries
Household alkaline and non-rechargeable batteries may be disposed of with regular household and commercial trash. Examples of these batteries are AAA, AA, A, C, D and 9 volt.
The exceptions to this ruling are the "small button batteries" used in many of the smaller electronic devices such as watches, calculators and specialty toys and games and rechargeable batteries. The Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC) an industry sponsored group, will continue to accept rechargeable batteries in special collection boxes provided at a number of retail outlets; visit www.rbrc.org for a list of these locations.
Automotive batteries must go to the County's permanent Household Hazardous Waste Facility. Call 732-683-8686 for information relating to disposal of these items.
Township businesses must take all household and automotive batteries to the County's permanent Household Hazardous Waste Facility. Call 732-683-8686 for appointments and additional information. |
