The transfer station began accepting lead acid batteries at no charge, according to an announcement on April 14.

This update is important for residents who need a safe and cost-free way to dispose of their used lead acid batteries. Proper disposal helps prevent environmental harm and supports recycling efforts.

The transfer station specified that only lead acid batteries are accepted under this policy. Alkaline batteries, such as AA or AAA types, are not included in the free drop-off program.

By providing this service, the transfer station aims to encourage responsible battery disposal among community members. Residents are advised to bring only eligible battery types for recycling.

This initiative reflects ongoing efforts to improve local waste management and promote environmentally friendly practices.
