The coming week will feature a battery collection event.
You can place your used batteries in a clear, sealed bag on your regular collection day this week in Simcoe County, and they will be collected and properly disposed of.
If your waste is collected by the county, put the battery bag on top of your trash cart.
Barrie residents are asked to put it in a visible location next to their recycling box.
Orillia residents are asked to place the bag on top of their paper recycling box.
The program collects only single-use batteries, not rechargeable ones.
