Accepted materials include Alkaline, Zinc Carbon, Nickel Cadmium (NiCd), Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH), Lithium-ion, Mercury-containing devices, Lithium Primary, Silver Oxide, and non-spillable Lead Acid batteries, as well as small electronics. Damaged or defective batteries will also be accepted, provided that battery terminals are secured with clear tape before drop-off. Each vehicle may recycle up to 200 pounds of batteries during the event.

According to Cirba Solutions, public awareness about battery recycling remains low—40% of consumers are unaware that lithium batteries are recyclable, and 60% do not know where to recycle them. Through events like this, the company aims to educate the community and help reduce the environmental impact of improperly discarded batteries.

This event provides a convenient, safe, and eco-friendly opportunity for Wixom residents to take part in responsible battery recycling while supporting broader sustainability efforts.
