So many of our modern conveniences have rechargeable batteries. They’re great for us but not good for out landfill. Please take your unneeded rechargeable batteries to the Freeport Recycling Center during business hours M-F 6am-3pm. The staff there will make sure your old rechargeable batteries are properly disposed of. Single use batteries can be safely placed in the trash. If in doubt, bring your batteries to the Freeport Recycling Center.
