Where to drop your batteries

• The Household Hazardous Waste Depot accepts both single-use and rechargeable batteries.
• Residents may also drop off used single-use and rechargeable batteries at these locations for recycling:

• Kingston Area Recycling Centre, 196 Lappan's Lane.
• INVISTA Centre, 1350 Gardiners Rd.
• City Hall, 216 Ontario St.

The City usually collects single-use batteries twice a year in the spring and fall.

How to put out batteries so they are picked up on your collection week

Place your single-use batteries in a zipper-style plastic bag (see through) beside your recycling box.

9V batteries should be taped to prevent accidental discharge. Batteries exceeding a standard D-Cell battery in size are not acceptable in the program.

Please do not place the battery bags inside your blue or grey box.
