Battery Recycling in New Berlin, Wisconsin
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 New Berlin, Wisconsin facility, giving the area a documented way to clear out spent batteries instead of letting them accumulate. Individuals can drop batteries off at the New Berlin location or use the nationwide Mail-In Program, while businesses can schedule a pickup.

How Battery Recycling Works
- 1CollectionBatteries enter the process through a business pickup, a drop-off at the New Berlin facility, or the Mail-In Program.
- 2Sorting and StorageTrained staff sort and separate batteries by type once they arrive, since a container of mixed battery types takes longer to process safely than one that’s already sorted. Battery terminals should be covered before shipping or storage to reduce fire risk, and batteries sent through the Mail-In Program should already be separated by type.
- 3DocumentationOnce a pickup or drop-off is processed, Recycle Technologies issues a certificate of recycling and safe disposal.Recycle Technologies has handled battery recycling from its Wisconsin facility since 1993.
