Tool batteries are as They are wanted. Email Chris the brand make/voltage and model number of the battery. I know they have some interest in some batteries.
Canister and cell batteries. No.
You can email Chris about larger NiCad ones. But in general anything smaller than D and all is a no-go for boardsort.
Canisters are currently a problem. There’s too many formulations and the manufacturers are more interest In competition than recyclability.
There’s free recycling programs across the country though. From a postal partnership for non lithium dry cells to drop stands at most highway rest stops and waypoints. Electronics shops, hardware stores...etc
Button cells are one of man’s evils! You could be evil and toss them legally because they’re not toxic enough for the epa to care. I don’t suggest recycling them curb aide because there’s only 6 iron companies who can recycle them cleanly as steel. See below.
Zinc buttons hold value to the recycler, but not enough to pay for them.
Silver ones can fetch a bit if you have more than a few. Alkaline ones are also inert and pose no recycling issue.
Zinc and alc ones can be out in the bin with tin cans and paper etc. You could do so with the silver ones too.
Lithium is dangerous!
The issue is they’re magnetic. All button cells are. The sorting magnets in recycling centres pick them up with other scrap steel. Then they risk getting shredded (fire!) or if they make it through intact can wind up in the melt and burst. Boom, tiny flying meteorites far hotter than the surrounding molten steel.
There are some specialists out there which is why they tend to be accepted at most battery recycling programs. Where they can be safely sorted and processed.
