What To Do With Your Old Car Battery. We recycle used batteries and if youre purchasing a new battery we will give you a core credit to offset some of the new batteries price. If you need to get rid of an old battery take it to AutoZone.
Our stores recycle more than just batteries too. Once the battery is cool open the car hood and use your wrench to detach the negative battery cable first and then the positive cable. How and where to dispose of an old battery.
Regular alkaline manganese and carbon-zinc batteries are not considered hazardous waste and can be disposed of with ordinary trash.
Place box with battery inside it into the cart. If youre replacing the battery in a car you can often turn in the old battery at the same place you purchase the new one. Car batteries can be recycled at auto shops and this is normally taken care of for you when you have your battery changed. When the old battery is returned to the store the core charge is refunded.
