Battery Recycling at the Library |
|
|
|
Washoe County is partnering with Redwood Materials and Nevada Tech Hub to bring lithium battery recycling bins to several library locations.
These bins provide a safe option for the recycling of household items containing rechargeable lithium batteries. Accepted items include phones, laptops, tablets, cordless power tool batteries, electric toothbrushes, wireless headphones/speakers, and most other lithium-ion and rechargeable devices.
They are available inside the Downtown Reno, Sierra View, South Valleys, and Sparks libraries during regular hours of operation. |
