Preparing Batteries for Drop-Off
A little preparation keeps battery terminals from touching during transport.
Cover the terminals with tape, especially on lithium and 9-volt batteries.
Keep different battery chemistries in separate boxes or bags.
Use a sturdy container, and keep it away from heat and direct sunlight in the car.
Set aside swollen, cracked, or leaking batteries. Keep them separate and call us before bringing them in.
See our main battery recycling page for more on how batteries are sorted and processed.
How Battery Recycling Works
Identify your batteries
Check the labels or the devices they came from, and separate different types where possible.
Estimate the quantity
A household collection is different from a pallet of commercial batteries or an EV pack, so note the approximate count, weight or number of containers.
Choose a delivery method
Bring batteries to the Blaine center, arrange a business pickup, or use a mail-in kit where available.
Arrange special handling
Call ahead about EV batteries, large backup units, unusual chemistries or damaged batteries.
Receive your documentation
Once processing is complete, you'll receive a recycling and safe-disposal certificate for your records.

Battery Recycling for Businesses and Organizations

Minnesota's Rule on Rechargeable Batteries
Under Minnesota law, rechargeable batteries and products powered by them can't go in household or business trash unless the batteries are removed first (Minn. Stat. 115A.9157). Bringing them to a recycler is the simple alternative, and our recycling documentation gives businesses a record of the job.
