Batteries contain toxic materials that, if sent to the landfill, could contribute to groundwater contamination and other health risks. By recycling batteries rather than throwing them away, you can help reduce the amount of chemicals that contaminate our drinking water and contribute to ecosystem degradation. Your household batteries can be recycled at the following on-campus locations: PSU Bookstore 2nd floor; Montgomery Residence Life desk; Self Service Recycling Rooms - CH 480, NH 370, SB2 144; SMSU Market; and ASPSU Office.
