Alkaline Battery Disposal Services
Safe, simple alkaline battery disposal for a cleaner island
Alkaline Battery Pickup and Disposal
Disposing of alkaline batteries in the garbage is anything but harmless. Common household batteries, from the AA and AAAs in your remotes and toys to the 9-volts in your smoke alarms, contain metals that can leach into soil and water when they end up in landfills. On Vancouver Island, BC recycling laws require that household alkaline batteries are collected and processed through approved programs — not tossed with your regular waste.
Why Alkaline Batteries Need Special Handling
Island Junk Solutions makes alkaline battery disposal easy. We’ll collect your used batteries directly from your home, office, or job site, and we’ll send them to the appropriate certified recycling facilities, where metals like zinc and manganese are recovered and reused.
How Battery Removal Works
Collect used household batteries in a safe container, away from heat and moisture. When you’re ready for a pickup, contact us for a quote — or add alkaline batteries to your existing junk removal service. We’ll pick up your batteries and transport them to a certified facility that meets BC’s strict environmental standards.
