After collecting a number of batteries in plastic bags over the years, it was time to find a place to recycle them. It's unfortunate that household batteries cannot be placed in the normal weekly recycle pickup like many other cities. After looking online at the Solid Waste Management website, I found there is only one place the city offers. It is the Hazardous Waste Disposal Drop Off Center, but is only open Fridays from 7AM-4PM, and Saturdays from 8AM to 3PM. When you go be sure to take a recent copy of your CPS bill an ID. It's right inside Loop 410 off Culebra, and is basically a drive thru drop off (really convenient). I just rolled down my window to show ID and CPS bill and they took the gigantic bag of batteries. There is a list on the website of all the different items that can be recycled. During the year they offer seasonal drop offs, but this is the only permanent one. read more
