Battery recycling for University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign departments

The University of Illinois does not coordinate or pay for battery recycling for campus departments. If your department has a small number of batteries to recycle, use one of the local options listed.

For larger quantities, your department can purchase battery recycling containers from Call2Recycle (https://www.call2recycle.org/store/​). Remember that Illinois law requires that the battery terminals are taped on both rechargable and single use batteries prior to recycling.
