Drive-Up Battery Collection Event

Here’s a FREE event to safely dispose of all those dead batteries you’ve been hanging onto! Join us at Desert West Sports Complex on Thursday, October 9 from 2-6 p.m. It’s a drive-up collection event, so you don’t even have to get out of your car. Representatives from Phoenix Public Works and the Phoenix Fire Department will be on hand to receive your lithium-ion, alkaline, and button batteries.

We cannot accept car, e-scooter, e-bike, or any lead-acid batteries.

All batteries will be properly recycled or disposed of by Kary Environmental Services.

Lithium-ion batteries are some of the most common fire starters inside garbage trucks, transfer stations, and the landfill. Batteries should never be tossed in your blue or black curbside bins.
