How it works
Vermont's battery stewardship law requires producers of household and medium-format batteries to fund free collection and recycling for consumers. The Battery Network (formerly Call2Recycle) runs the state's approved program through retail and solid-waste drop-off sites. Covers single-use and rechargeable household batteries (and removable batteries sold in products); car batteries are not part of it. Damaged or swollen batteries go to solid waste entities only.
Cost & rules
- Household single-use and rechargeable batteries only; not car batteries.
- Damaged, swollen or leaking batteries: take to your solid waste district or town, not a store.

Before you go

Tape the terminals of lithium and rechargeable batteries before transport.
Keep damaged, swollen or leaking batteries separate and tell the operator.
Ask which battery types are accepted; car batteries often go somewhere different.
