Battery Recycling Offered Across San Gabriel Valley Tomorrow

Forty businesses across the San Gabriel Valley will have collection boxes for household battery disposal.

On Tuesday, 40 businesses in the San Gabriel Valley will serve as collection sites for household batteries that need to be recycled. 

The event, which is being sponsored by the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments through a grant from CalRecycle, is being held as part of America Recycles Day. The closest drop off location to Diamond Bar is the Mattel Toy Store, 2780 S. Reservoir St., Pomona. All of the businesses will display an identifying sticker in their window and a collection box inside.

Batteries that will be accepted include AAA, AA, C, and D alkaline and rechargeable batteries under 11 pounds.
