Get your batteries ready for pickup

BRAMPTON, ON (April 14, 2025) – Peel Region will be collecting single-use and rechargeable batteries at the curb starting April 21.  

Check your waste collection calendar to find your battery pickup day.  

Here's how to prepare and set out your batteries for collection:

• Put your used single-use and rechargeable batteries in a transparent, sealed bag.
• Tape the ends of all rechargeable and 9V batteries.
• On your battery pickup day, place your battery bag on top of your closed green bin. If you don't have a green bin, place your battery bag beside your recycling bags. 

Thanks to Peel residents, we've collected more than 240,000 kgs of batteries that could have otherwise ended up in the landfill. 

If you miss your battery pickup day, don't worry. Check RecycleYourBatteries.ca to find a free drop-off location near you to safely dispose of used and old batteries throughout the year. You can also drop off batteries for free year-round at any Community Recycling Centre near you. 

Batteries should never be put in your garbage, recycling, or organics bins – they can cause fires in collection trucks and at facilities, putting workers at risk. By properly disposing of batteries, you’re helping to keep hazardous materials out of landfills, protecting our environment and our Peel community.
