Ivy Solid Waste Authority Offers FREE Lithium Battery Disposal

When discarded improperly (i.e., thrown together with general household trash), lithium batteries can cause fires. In response, the RWSA has just begun a free and safe lithium battery disposal program. Lithium batteries are found in laptops, cellphones, and many other electronic devices including toys. If you’re not sure if a particular device has a lithium battery, check the markings on the product case. Lithium-based batteries are often marked “Lithium”, “Li-ion”, or specific codes that begin with the letters “CR” or “RCR”. For more information about this program, please see the RWSA website.
