Do you have rechargeable or disposable batteries that are no longer useful? Bring them to one of our drop-off locations for recycling. We also accept cell phone batteries.

Description

Place your batteries in the collection box at the drop-off point.

The batteries will then be picked up by a Québec government-accredited collector, sorted by chemical composition and sent to recycling facilities.

Batteries accepted

  • Non-rechargeable batteries (alkaline, lithium, small sealed lead batteries, etc.)
  • Rechargeable batteries (lithium-ion, Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, etc.)
  • Batteries of any size weighing less than 5 kg (AAA, AA, C, D, 9V, button batteries, etc.)

Rejected batteries

  • Lead-acid batteries, such as gasoline or electric vehicle batteries
  • Wet batteries

Batteries with lead are often accepted by auto mechanics and garages. Check with them.
