Electronic waste:

Computers, computer peripherals, telephones, cell phones, answering machines, radios, stereo equipment, tape players/recorders, phonographs, VCR’s, CD players/recorders, calculators,  and microwave ovens.
Mercury-containing waste:
Fluorescent tubes, thermostats, high-intensity discharge lamps, sodium vapor lamps, and metal halide lamps.
Consumer batteries:
Rechargeable, alkaline, NiCad, lithium, silver button and mercury.

Place household batteries in clear plastic bags, tie a knot on the top and place on top of your bottle and cans in their recycling container.  When the can and bottles are sorted the workers will take out the batteries.
