The following recycling options are available for UTIA employee and student use.
There are two battery collection stations:
- Biosystems Engineering lab building in the entrance lobby outside classroom 166.
- College of Veterinary Medicine, Hospital Operations, room B206.
Guidelines for recycling and disposal of different battery types:
 Regular alkaline AA, AAA, C, D and 9-volt batteries go in the trash.(Landfill disposal is acceptable because of regulations enacted in 1997 to reduce the mercury in alkaline batteries)
 Other types of non-rechargeable batteries (includes coin & button batteries, lithium camera batteries, etc.) go in the smaller container in the Biosystems Engineering lab building outside classroom 166.
 All rechargeable batteries (includes batteries from cell phones & computers, rechargeable sealed lead acid batteries, and rechargeable AA, AAA, C or D cells) go in the green battery recycling box at a battery collection station. Follow the directions on the lid of the box. (Exception: lead rechargeable batteries heavier than 2 pounds go in the recycling bin in the Biosystems Engineering Lab Building instead of in a battery box).
 Lead acid batteries (such as most car & tractor batteries) are recycled by Master Battery Co. at 106 W. Magnolia, or by leaving them in the recycling bin at the battery collection station in the lobby area of the Biosystems Engineering Lab Building (outside classroom 166). |
