These batteries can safely be disposed in the regular garbage. There are few sites in the state that accept these batteries for recycling. Alkaline and carbon zinc batteries can be taken to a household hazardous waste collection event if one is held in the area or a permanent collection site if one has been established in the community (City of Jackson and Jackson County have permanent sites). Click here on Jackson Metro HHW to view the tri-county household hazardous waste recycling facility servicing the Jackson Metro area.
