November 12th, 2022 - Lithium-Ion Battery Collection Events
On November 12th, three lithium-ion battery collection events will be held concurrently in Monterey, Salinas, and Soledad. Proper disposal of lithium-ion batteries is crucial, as they present fire hazards when disposed of improperly. Generally, any item you plug in to recharge likely contains a lithium battery. Regular household batteries will not be accepted at these events.
