Used lead-acid batteries belong in a proper recycling stream rather than household trash or curbside recycling. The recycling process recovers useful materials and keeps them out of the general waste stream.
Use an appropriate collection option
Battery Giant’s recycling program delivers batteries to permitted U.S. Environmental Protection Agency battery recycling facilities. Contact our Rochester Hills store about bringing used vehicle or equipment batteries in.
Keep battery chemistries separate
We accept used lead-acid starter and deep-cycle batteries, including car and truck, motorcycle, ATV, lawn mower, golf cart, marine and RV batteries. We do not accept single-use, non-rechargeable alkaline AA, AAA, C, D or 9V household batteries.
In Michigan, household alkaline batteries can be placed in regular household trash, subject to any additional requirements from your local waste provider. This guidance does not apply to lithium, rechargeable or lead-acid batteries: those do not belong in household trash or curbside recycling bins.
For a different chemistry, an unusual pack or a damaged or swollen battery, call before bringing it in. Our team can confirm current recycling options, preparation requirements and any applicable charges. See our battery recycling information for current store details.
