Recycling car batteries: quick answers
What kinds of batteries do you take?
We take lead-acid batteries from cars, trucks, boats, RVs, golf carts, motorcycles and lawn equipment. Call the yard before bringing lithium or household batteries.
How should I bring car batteries to the yard?
Keep batteries intact and upright, with caps on. Don't bring cracked or leaking batteries loose in your vehicle — put them in a sturdy plastic tub.
Why recycle a car battery instead of throwing it away?
Lead-acid batteries are banned from household trash in Florida because they contain lead and acid. Almost all of the lead can be recycled into new batteries.
