Household Battery and Cell Phone Collection Program

Beginning September 3, single-family households can place used batteries and cell phones into a sealed zip-top bag and when nearly full, place the sealed bag
ON TOP OF YOUR BLACK CART
on your regular collection day.
For safety, please tape over both ends of each lithium battery, and wrap cell phones in paper. Multi-family residents can place batteries in their orange battery and cell phone collection bucket.
If you don’t see one in a central location, contact your building's property manager to request a free bucket from
Recology San Mateo County.
