*******NEW GUIDELINES FOR RECYCLING HOUSEHOLD BATTERIES*******
The Edgewater DPW will not accept household batteries.
Please place alkaline batteries in the regular trash. Domestically Manufactured
batteries made after 1996 no longer contain mercury and are Safe to throw away.
Important: Rechargeable batteries still need to be recycled properly. The
BCUA will still collect rechargeable batteries from residents and Municipalities
that follow the aforementioned guidelines stressing that each battery be individually
packaged or by taping the terminal ends. Rechargeable batteries CAN also be recycled
at participating retail locations including the following: Radio Shack, Best Buy,
Staples, Target, Office Max, Lowes, Home Depot, Sears, Wal-Mart, and Verizon Wireless.
To find a retail collection site use the collection site locator at www.call2recycle.org

a rechargeable battery to be recycled:
- 1) Place each battery in a separate plastic bag
- 2) Tape the terminal ends of the battery
