Battery Disposal Drop-Off Event

FREE Battery Disposal Event

Batteries are considered household hazardous waste and should never go in residential trash or recycling containers. In observance of Fire Prevention Week, Public Works and Phoenix Fire are partnering together to bring residents this free opportunity to safely dispose of lithium-ion, alkaline, or NiMH batteries. NO car batteries, please! Each resident will be allowed to dispose of up to 5 pounds of batteries.

Drive-up Collection

You won't even have to get out of your car! Enter the park from Central Ave. via Farrington Dr. and look for the pop-up canopies and the fire truck in the first parking lot. Please bring proof of your Phoenix address to show at the drop-off site. Our certified collection vendor, Kary Environmental Services, will ensure your batteries are collected safely and either disposed of or recycled properly. The Phoenix Fire Department will be available to answer questions about battery safety and fire prevention.

Safe Transportation

To prevent fire and other dangerous while transporting your old batteries, please either tape over the battery terminals, or have lithium-ion batteries individually bagged. Also, keep lithium-ion batteries separate from alkaline, lead-acid, or NiMH batteries. If possible, please put your box or bin of batteries in the trunk or rear of your vehicle (for easy collection).
