Materials with Options Other Than HHWRC

It is good to have options. Currently, these three materials: batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, and motor oil have other locations that will accept these materials from residents. Listed on this page are some local recycling options for these materials.

ReWorks strongly suggests that residents contact vendors directly for:

  • Acceptable materials
  • Fees
  • Hours of operation
  • References
  1. Batteries
  2. Motor Oil
  3. Fluorescent Bulbs

Reminder

As a reminder, never put batteries of any type into your home's curbside recycling cart or at a community recycling drop-off center. 

Also, we do ask that you NOT collect batteries from friends, neighbors, or any organization you are affiliated with (schools, businesses, faith-based, etc.) The main concern is safety – yours!  Know the options available for proper handling/disposal.

Rechargeable Batteries

Rechargeable batteries should not be placed in home recycling carts or brought to community drop-off centers. There are locations that can take these batteries, two of which are:
