County seeking retail, community sites for free household battery disposal program

Clark County Public Health is looking for local retail and community sites to help support proper battery disposal by becoming a drop-off location for household battery recycling. 

Improper disposal of batteries can pose significant fire risks and cause harm to sanitation workers and damage to equipment at Clark County transfer stations. Last year, Public Health and Waste Connections of Washington launched a new battery disposal program that provides residents with convenient locations to dispose of household batteries for free.
