Recycling, What’s In, What’s Out

We learned so much at our event, Recycling event, What’s In, What’s Out and have some resources to share! Recycling rules are now the same across the state. Use the box below to find out what goes in your bin. Full video presentation of the event is below. 

Can I recycle it?

Battery Recycling

Battery Recycle

Old batteries lying around? Don’t throw them away! Batteries contain corrosive materials and heavy metals—lead-acid, cadmium and lithium-ion—that can contaminate the environment and affect human health.

Residents can now recycle their depleted batteries anytime through the SLCT’s recycle program.

Common household, non-rechargeable, single-use alkaline and zinc AA, AAA, 9V or C or D cell batteries are accepted, as well as rechargeable and nickel cadmium batteries.

To recycle, place your old batteries in a sealed plastic bag and drop them in any of these locations:

  • The Land Trust office at 76 N. Main St.  The main drop box is located inside the building and is open during normal business hours, while a smaller container is located in the rear of the building.
  • The Southington Public Library. Drop them in Southington Land Conservation Trust’s battery recycling bin located in our scanner/fax/copier area!
