Battery Recycling in Blaine, Minnesota
Schedule a Battery Recycling Pickup
Used batteries, alkaline, lithium-ion, lead-acid, and more, contain materials that can be hazardous if crushed, damaged, or left to leak, and shouldn’t go in the trash or curbside recycling bin. Recycle Technologies collects and recycles batteries for households, businesses, and organizations at its Blaine, Minnesota facility, giving the area a documented way to clear out spent batteries instead of letting them accumulate or ending up in the trash.
