Some items that have lithium batteries are pictured here. These should never be put into the trash or recycling as they can create the possibility for a fire. Also, you should take caution when storing these items! Some of these items would fall under metal or electronic collection but please remember to remove the battery and dispose of it properly. If the battery cannot be removed the borough would be unable to take it for disposal. You can dispose of these batteries by taking them to any of the household hazardous waste collection events with in Bergen County. Or visit www.call2recycle.org .
