About this center

Elgin Township collects dry-cell batteries at its Highway Garage on South McLean Boulevard, one of four township drop-off points in the battery recycling program. The other three sit at the Pingree Grove, Big Timber, and South Elgin fire district stations. The program has collected more than 320,000 pounds of batteries from township residents. The bin takes AA, AAA, C, D, 9-volt, hearing aid, and computer batteries, plus cells from radios, flashlights, toys, power tools, cameras, and cell phones. Batteries go in loose, with no bags or containers, and every lithium battery and every battery with top terminals needs clear tape over the terminals. Car, boat, and motorcycle wet-cell batteries are refused.
