Household Battery, Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb and Inkjet Cartridge Recycling Couldn’t Be Easier

Household batteries, (AAA, AA, C, D, 9V, rechargeable and small disc batteries), compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) and inkjet cartridges are harmful to our environment when disposed of improperly. We can work together to protect our environment by keeping these toxic items out of the landfills. PCUUC has a recycling box located on the table near the entrance. Just bring in your depleted batteries, CFL bulbs and inkjet cartridges to church on any Sunday, drop them in the box and you can be assured they will be properly disposed of.

Nearby locations that provide additional opportunities to properly recycle other toxic household items such as car batteries, automotive fluids, used tires, household electronics, computer components and accessories can be found by visiting:
