  • Dry-cell batteries go to Hazardous Waste, and rechargeable batteries (lithium-ion, nickel-metal hydride and nickel-cadmium) go to a rechargeable battery collection box at a public facility (a different place from button batteries)
  • Even with the separate collection of "Plastics" (from October 2026), do not put button batteries in "Plastics" bags (they can catch fire)
