Recycling Batteries in New Hampshire: What to Know

🔋 Single-use (alkaline)
Common AA/AAA/9V. Some areas accept in regular trash, but recycling is preferred.
⚡ Rechargeable & lithium-ion
Phone, laptop and power-tool batteries. Tape the terminals and never bin them loose.
🚗 Lead-acid (car)
Vehicle batteries are widely bought back by auto and scrap yards for their lead.

How to Prepare Batteries

  • Tape the terminals of lithium and 9V batteries to prevent sparks.
  • Never put lithium-ion batteries in curbside recycling — they cause fires.
  • Bag batteries separately and keep them out of the rain.
  • Bring lead-acid car batteries to an auto parts store or scrap yard — many pay a core fee.
