2 BATTERIES Taped Waste Items Many battery types require taping of the terminal(s). See below for additional guidance. BATTERY TYPES All chemistry types including: Lead Acid, Alkaline, Nickel Cadmium (NiCad), Zinc-Carbon (Zn), Rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-Ion), Lithium (Primary), Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH), Mercury, Silver-Oxide, Zinc Air, etc. TAPE: There is one easy, but critical step prior to depositing batteries into the recycling containers. To prevent short circuit and possible fire, ensure the terminals cannot come into contact with other terminals, batteries, or metal objects by placing clear tape over the battery terminals, using the original battery packaging, or individually bagging each battery. Additionally, alkaline batteries do not require battery terminal protection, so you can deposit these batteries as-is in the proper NLR collection container
