Do you know what to do with those dead batteries?
All household batteries must be recycled and should not go in your regular trash. This is especially important for lithium batteries, which are considered hazardous and can create serious fire risks when thrown away.
Illinois residents can use the Battery Network to find a nearby drop-off location for household batteries. Lithium batteries may also be taken to the Electronics Recovery Center at 5650 Carey Avenue in Davenport.
