Curbside Battery Collection Returns: March 10-21, 2025
Quinte Waste Solutions’ Curbside Battery Collection is Back!
Curbside Battery Collection Events will occur from March 10 - 21, 2025. Please note, that Quinte Waste Solutions collects your batteries on the dates corresponding to your regular blue box collection day(s). For Marmora and Lake residents, this will take place on March 10th and 17th.
How to Participate:
Collect old household batteries.
Tape the terminals of all lithium, button cell, and rechargeable batteries to prevent fire hazards.
Place all batteries in a resealable bag.
On collection day, set the bag on top of your Papers Blue Box for pickup.
Curbside Battery Collection instructions below:
Residents are reminded that sealed lead acid batteries, encapsulated batteries (such as those found in flashlights and electric toothbrushes), and light bulbs are not accepted in this program. Please dispose of these items through appropriate recycling programs.
Outside of the designated collection dates, residents can bring their batteries and other hazardous waste to the Household Hazardous & Electronic Waste Depot (HEW Depot) in Belleville for safe disposal.
