AVI will empty this container quarterly, and property managers can also call AVI to schedule more frequent pickups if needed. All household batteries are accepted in the recycling program.
ACCEPTABLE batteries include:
- Alkaline batteries: These are common household batteries found in various sizes (AAA, AA, C, D, 9V) and are used in devices such as remote controls, toys, flashlights, and clocks.
- Lithium batteries: Lithium batteries come in various forms, including coin-cell batteries (used in watches and small electronic devices), lithium-ion rechargeable batteries (found in cameras, laptops, and smartphones), and lithium polymer batteries (used in smartphones, tablets, and other portable electronic devices).)
- NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries: Rechargeable NiMH batteries are used in devices like digital cameras, cordless phones, and handheld gaming devices.
Use clear packing, non-conductive electrical, or duct tape to secure battery terminals, ensuring the label remains visible. For lithium-ion batteries, tape the battery terminals and/or place them in individual plastic bags.
If you do not have a battery recycling container at your multi-family property, please reach out to your property manager to add this program to your complex. Please also inform your property manager if you notice the container is full.
Helpful Resources for Property Managers
| State of California Penal Code Section 402b Any person who discards or abandons or leaves in any place accessible to children any refrigerator, icebox, deep-freeze locker, clothes dryer, washing machine, or other appliance, having a capacity of one and one-half cubic feet or more, which is no longer in use, and which has not had the door removed or the hinges and such portion of the latch mechanism removed to prevent latching or locking of the door, is guilty of a misdemeanor. Any owner, lessee, or manager who knowingly permits such a refrigerator, icebox, deep-freeze locker, clothes dryer, washing machine, or other appliance to remain on premises under his control without having the door removed or the hinges and such portion of the latch mechanism removed to prevent latching or locking of the door, is guilty of a misdemeanor. Guilt of a violation of this section shall not, in itself, render one guilty of manslaughter, battery or other crime against a person who may suffer death or injury from entrapment in such a refrigerator, icebox, deep-freeze locker, clothes dryer, washing machine, or other appliance. The provisions of this section shall not apply to any vendor or seller of refrigerators, iceboxes, deep-freeze lockers, clothes dryers, washing machines, or other appliances, who keeps or stores them for sale purposes, if the vendor or seller takes reasonable precautions to effectively secure the door of any such refrigerator, icebox, deep-freeze locker, clothes dryer, washing machine, or other appliance so as to prevent entrance by children small enough to fit therein. (Amended by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1122.) |
