Monrovia residents can take these items to any Household Hazardous and E-Waste
Founded in 1994 as a not-for-profit, Call2Recycle helps resolve the logistical challenges and regulatory intricacies for partners across the U.S. to ensure batteries - from rechargeable and primary consumer batteries to electric transport and electric vehicles - are safely and responsibly managed when they reach their end-of-life, in accordance with state and national regulations.
Through an established network of environmentally-committed drop-off sites, Call2Recycle has safely and responsibly recycled more than 140 million pounds of batteries across the U.S. since its inception.
The Home Depot is proud to continue their sustainability efforts and support for the environment by responsibly recycling through the Call2Recycle® program. Help spread the message and share with your friends and family. Thank you for helping protect our natural resources!
A group of 39 businesses, including three in Monrovia, are part of a pilot program to increase the locations where consumers can legally dispose of batteries.
Since 2006, it has been illegal to simply throw batteries in the garbage. The elements in those batteries can lead to groundwater and soil contamination.
The San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) received a $395,966 grant to start a pilot program for recycling the batteries, according to Heidi Sanborn of the California Product Stewardship Council.
At the following interactive map site, Los Angeles County residents can find the recycling location closest to them. For Monrovians, those locations are:
Sanborn provides the following instructions on recycling:
Residents can bring any household batteries (rechargeable or alkaline that weigh less than 11 lbs.) and cell phones to the take-back locations. Signs on store windows identify take-back locations. Customers can turn in their batteries at the marked battery recycling boxes inside the store. Simple instructions on how to safely recycle batteries are located on each take-back box. Full boxes of batteries are mailed to recycling facilities at no charge to the participating businesses.
According to Sanborn, a survey done by the SGVCOG as part of the program showed that about 60-percent of area residents were aware of the 2006 California law banning trash disposal of batteries, and 56 percent of those aware of the ban still throw batteries in the trash.
