Battery Recycling in Kennesaw, GA
Battery recycling for Kennesaw, Marietta and metro Atlanta, with weekday drop-off on Town Point Drive, business pickup within about 100 miles, and prepaid battery kits by mail.
A loose lithium battery in a trash cart or curbside bin can start a fire, and many scrap yards won't take anything but car batteries. Recycle Technologies accepts nearly every chemistry at our Kennesaw facility, 3400 Town Point Dr NW, Suite 130, in Cobb County. We take alkaline and zinc, lithium-ion, sealed lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, and button cell batteries, along with power tool packs, UPS and backup units, and EV batteries. Residents and businesses can drop off on weekdays, small batches can ship in a kit, and companies can schedule pickup across metro Atlanta.

Nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries

Storing and Transporting Batteries Safely
Tape the ends. Covering terminals before storage or transport cuts down on fire risk.
Keep chemistries apart. Our staff sort every battery by type, but a pre-sorted box goes through faster, and mail-in kits must be sorted.
Isolate damaged batteries. Put swollen, cracked, or leaking batteries in a separate container and call before bringing them.
Use a sturdy container. A plastic tub or lined box keeps batteries from shifting on the drive.

Battery Recycling Rules in Georgia
Businesses can manage used batteries as universal waste under federal rules that Georgia follows (40 CFR Part 273), and shipping used lithium batteries falls under U.S. DOT hazardous materials rules. Households aren't held to those rules, but Georgia communities warn against tossing batteries: Athens-Clarke County calls them the top cause of fires at its solid waste facilities (Athens-Clarke County).
Scrap yards around metro Atlanta mostly take car and industrial lead-acid batteries and turn away lithium and button cells. Our Kennesaw facility accepts household and business chemistries on any weekday.
