How do I dispose of old TVs and electronics in Albany?

How do I dispose of batteries in Georgia?
Georgia does not run a single statewide household-battery program, so options are local. Rechargeable and lithium batteries are often taken back by retailers, while single-use alkaline batteries are frequently landfill-accepted but better recycled where a program exists. Confirm whether KADB or a local retailer in Albany accepts your battery type before dropping it off, as acceptance varies.
Where can I recycle scrap metal and cars in Albany?
