The Flin Flon Recycling Center is partnering with Call2Recycle to make household battery recycling easy in our area.  Administrator Deb Odegaard says they are pleased to provide our community with a way to keep batteries out of the landfill. She explains they’re accepting all dry cell batteries that are under 5 kilograms and those batteries should be put in a plastic bag and dropped off at the Recycling Center noting they don’t want them loose in the material so they can find them.  She adds they take rechargeables as well as regular alkaline batteries, the button batteries, batteries from computers, power tools, cameras but they don’t take wet cell batteries or car batteries which can be left at the Creighton and Flin Flon landfills and they will be picked up for recycling there.
