Help Prevent Fires: Keep Rechargeable Batteries Out of Trash and Recycling Bins

Rechargeable batteries are becoming more common in everyday items such as phones, power tools, laptops, toys, and e-bikes. While convenient, these batteries can become extremely dangerous if they are thrown into trash or recycling containers.

When rechargeable batteries are crushed or damaged during collection or processing, they can ignite and cause serious fires, putting employees, equipment, and facilities at risk.

To help keep our community and staff safe, please do not place rechargeable batteries in your trash or recycling containers. Instead, bring them directly to the Winneshiek County Recycling Center and hand them to a member of our recycling team. This ensures they are handled safely and recycled properly.

Rechargeable batteries are accepted at the Winneshiek County Recycling Center Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Thank you for helping protect our employees, our equipment, and our community by recycling rechargeable batteries the safe way.
