Cass County Solid Waste Management District

 

 

Battery Collection

The Cass County Recycling District accepts batteries from area residents for recycling. Small quantities can be dropped off by appointment at the district office located at 518 High St. This program is for Cass County residents only and not for businesses.

We accept any and all batteries, except Alkaline, at our office by appointment. As the batteries expire, you can collect them in mass and there is no need to separate them by type. You can also bring in car batteries, lawn mower and motorcycle batteries, laptop and rechargeable batteries, hearing aid and cellphone batteries. Alkaline batteries are safe to throw away in your regular trash due to the non-hazardous nature of the chemical. Other types of batteries are harmful in the landfill because of the toxicity inside of them. Most of them contain NiCad, Lithium, and Lead Acid.

Batteries are also accepted at McCords Do It Best in Logansport and at the First Farmers Bank and Trust in Galveston.
