Why Battery Recycling Matters
Lead-acid batteries contain hazardous materials including lead and sulfuric acid. When disposed of improperly, these can contaminate soil and groundwater. The good news: lead-acid batteries are one of the most recycled products in the world — nearly all components can be reclaimed and reused. By recycling your old battery at Batteries Northwest, you're helping keep harmful materials out of landfills and supporting a clean Pacific Northwest.
Core Charge
When you purchase a new battery from us and return your old one (the "core") at the time of purchase, your core charge is waived. Have an old battery but not buying a new one? We still accept drop-offs free of charge.
