Battery Recycling

Proper battery recycling is an important part of environmental responsibility. Many types of batteries — especially car batteries, deep cycle batteries, and other lead-acid units — contain materials like lead and acid that can be harmful if disposed of in regular trash or recycling bins. Car batteries are about 98% recyclable, meaning almost all of the lead, plastic, and acid can be reused to manufacture new batteries or other products, reducing waste and conserving resources.

When you return your old battery, you often avoid a refundable deposit that would otherwise be charged if the old unit isn’t returned, saving you money while helping the environment. It’s important to never place batteries in regular garbage or curbside recycling, as they can damage sorting equipment or cause fires. By recycling your old batteries at a certified facility or through approved programs, you support local sustainability efforts and ensure materials are handled safely and reused responsibly.

You can bring your old batteries directly to any Century Batteries location in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, or Port Coquitlam, and we will help you recycle them properly. Whether it’s an automotive battery, deep cycle battery, or other lead-acid unit, our team ensures it is handled safely and sent to approved recycling facilities so the materials can be reused and kept out of landfills.
