    How it works

    TDEC points residents to Call2Recycle to find a drop-off site for rechargeable batteries and cell phones. Call2Recycle takes nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride, lithium-ion and small sealed lead batteries. In Tennessee, lithium, Ni-Cd and NiMH batteries must not go in the trash; alkaline batteries may. TDEC does not say whether drop-off is free.

    Cost & rules
    • Rechargeable batteries only: nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride, lithium-ion and small sealed lead. Find a drop-off on the Call2Recycle website and check what the site takes before you go.
    • Lithium, Ni-Cd and NiMH batteries must not go in the trash or recycling bins. Alkaline batteries may go in the regular trash.
    • Before you go: Tape the terminals with non-conductive tape such as electrical, packing or duct tape.
