BATTERY FIRE DANGER

DO NOT PLACE BATTERIES IN ANY OF YOUR CARTS OR BINS

Images of household batteries that can be a fire danger

Batteries — especially Lithium Ion batteries — are flammable hazardous waste and can cause fires, posing serious risks to people and machinery during collection and at processing facilities.

You can safely drop off old batteries at Marin Household Hazardous Waste Facility in San Rafael.

Residential customers may also request a free Household Hazardous Waste pickup.

WHat Goes where?

Help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect our community by sorting your waste correctly. California’s mandatory organics recycling law, SB 1383, requires everyone to compost and recycle. Let’s all do our part! 

Not sure what cart an item belongs in? Our What Goes Where tool will help you determine if a material can be reused, recycled, composted, or disposed of in your trash.
