Before we can drop off non-rechargeable batteries at Metro, we need to sort them. This should happen regularly, since batteries accumulate fast, and it can be a daunting task to sort multiple buckets of these little buggers. Please wear gloves when doing this task!
These are the different types, and how you can identify them:
- Type: Alkaline
- Identification: Alkaline, Mercury Free or 0% Mercury, Dry
- Type: Nickel Metal Hydride
- Identification: NI-MH
- Type: Nickel Cadmium
- Identification: NI-Cad
- Type: Lithium
- Identification: Lithium
- Type: Button cells
- Identification: little round batteries off of motherboards. All of them can go together, eventhough they come in different types.
- Type: Lead Acid
- Identification: Lead (Most likely this is a rechargeable battery and should go to RBRC, or is a UPS battery and will go to Battery Exchange.)
We have marked containers for these on a shelf in UPS land. If you are not sure what type of battery you have, please leave it in the container unknown, or ask one of the Recycling Coordinators.
