Batteries
Batteries are the most common form of household hazardous waste. But the environmental impact of batteries is not limited to the waste stream. Environmental impacts occur in the production, distribution and end-of-life phases of the battery life cycle.
Use Discretion – Recycle any end of life batteries. We recommend dropping household batteries off at a 'B-cycle' drop off location near you.
On Campus
To dispose of batteries, please locate your nearest B-cycle drop-off point.
Staff can set up a battery bucket in their office space and place a Campus Assist request to have it collected. The University currently accepts lithium and alkaline batteries only.
Off Campus
B-cycle is a free Government-backed service that recycles old and used household style batteries. To find a drop-off point, visit the B-cycle website.
