  3. The Battery Network (formerly Call2Recycle) store drop-off (Nevada)Nonprofit service · NevadaOpen to everyoneConditions applyCost not listed
    How it works

    NDEP points Nevada residents to Call2Recycle, now called The Battery Network, for rechargeable battery recycling. Most of its drop-off sites take common household and rechargeable batteries; some take e-bike or other large batteries. Find a site with the ZIP code locator and check what each location accepts. The locator page does not say whether drop-off is free.

    Cost & rules
    • Most sites take common household and rechargeable batteries; some take e-bike or high-energy batteries. Check the location's details first.
    • NDEP lists this locator for rechargeable batteries; ordinary alkaline batteries are harder to recycle.
    • Before you go: Lithium and soft-sided batteries need extra preparation before drop-off to prevent sparks.

Before you go

  1. Tape the terminals of lithium and rechargeable batteries before transport.
  2. Keep damaged, swollen or leaking batteries separate and tell the operator.
  3. Ask which battery types are accepted; car batteries often go somewhere different.
