Battery Recycling

All batteries can be brought to the CVSWMD Additional Recyclables Collection Center (ARCC) for $1 per carload. Battery terminal ends must be taped. Go to the ARCC page for hours and directions. 
Rechargeable batteries and cell phones are also accepted at the CVSWMD office for free recycling.
