Can Lithium-Ion Batteries Go in the Recycling Bin?

Lithium-ion batteries should not be placed in regular household recycling bins or mixed with general waste. They can cause fires if damaged, crushed or short-circuited during waste collection and recycling. Instead, used Li-ion batteries should be stored safely and handed over to an appropriate collection point, producer, authorised recycler or other permitted waste-management channel.
