How to dispose of batteries in Brooklyn Park, MN
The right path depends on chemistry. Single-use alkaline (AA, AAA, C, D, 9V) is trash-safe in 49 states. Lithium-ion (phones, laptops, e-bikes), button-cell, and lead-acid (car) batteries are NOT trash-safe — they need HHW drop-off or retailer take-back.
