PRINCETON — Though many Bureau County residents regularly recycle their cardboard boxes, newspapers and cans at their local recycling centers, the question remains as to what to do with batteries.

Princeton’s Superintendent of Streets Steve Wright said the Princeton Recycling Center does not collect or recycle any types of batteries at this time because the city does not have a vendor who handles the batteries. However, he said there are websites, such as Earth911, which can give local residents information on other recycling options for batteries.

Some of those battery recycling options listed on Earth911 include mailback collection sites as well as a listing of businesses throughout the country which collect batteries for recycling. Locally, several businesses collect at least certain kinds of batteries for recycling.
