We Recycle Your Batteries
The Kingston Sustainability Centre has an arrangement with the Department of Solid Waste of the City of Kingston to collect old household batteries. Many people know “why” protecting the environment is important but sometimes the “how” eludes us. However, once the “how” is discovered it spreads like wildfire. That is how one battery quickly, turned into thousands. The Kingston Sustainability Centre acts as a drop off point for used household batteries. Please drop them off and let us take care of them for you.
