If it's easier, you're welcome to drop your batteries off at any of our Phoenix Recycling locations. Please note there will be a charge.

CIRCULAR
BATTERIES
Materials from your batteries are recovered for re-use as base metals or undergo further refining/extraction to be used in new applications.
For Alkaline Batteries, the recovered Zinc and Manganese By-Product is on sold as a tradable commodity for further refining, often recycled to be made into new batteries. Black mass from lithium batteries is further extracted for reuse into brand new batteries. Recycled Nickel makes raw materials for Stainless Steel. Recovered Cadmium is used for the manufacture of Ni-Cd batteries and for plating purposes..
