Battery Disposal
The City of Fountain Valley offers residents the covenience of recycling used household batteries at two recycling stations located inside the Fountain Valley Recreation Center and Senior Center at 16400 Brookhurst Street and 17967 Bushard Street, respectively.
Acceptable battery tapes include all household AAA, AA, C, D, button cell, 9 volt, rechargeable batteries and cell phone batteries. Vehicle batteries and batteries from businesses are not accepted.
Before dropping off your batteries, please tape the positive (+) ends. Batteries that are not 100% discharged may come into contact with each other and create a short that causes a battery to overheat, and possibly result in fire. By taping the positive (+) end of batteries, you'll help eliminate the possibility of accidents from occurring during storage and shipping.
