WIXOM, Mich., Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In recognition of America Recycles Day, Cirba Solutions, a leading battery recycling and critical mineral recovery company, is making it easier to safely and responsibly recycle end-of-life batteries. As part of its ongoing commitment to expand battery recycling education and accessibility, the company will host a free battery recycling collection event at its Wixom, Mich. facility on Thursday, Nov. 12. 

Wixom, Mich. Collection Event:
The public is welcome to drop off their end-of-life batteries for FREE in Wixom from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time on Thursday, Nov. 12. The facility is located at 4930 Holtz Dr. Wixom, Mich., 48393.

Cirba Solutions handles all battery chemistries and formats, and on the day of the collection event, will be accepting these materials for recycling:

• Lithium-ion
• Alkaline
• Lithium primary
• Zinc carbon
• Nickel cadmium (NiCd)
• Nickel metal hydride (NiMH)
• Silver oxide
• Lead acid (non-spillable)
• Small electronics (cellphones, tablets, activity trackers, power tool battery packs, etc.)

Cirba Solutions will also accept damaged and defective batteries for safe and proper recycling. Damaged batteries must be handled and stored with care. Always wear protective gloves, isolate the battery and place it in a container filled with cushioning material, such as sand, and dispose of it properly as quickly as possible.

Prior to dropping off batteries, for safe handling and recycling, consumers are asked to protect the terminals of the batteries with clear tape or place individually in a clear plastic bag. There is a 200 lb. maximum limit, per vehicle, of batteries that can be dropped off for recycling. Cirba Solutions has the right to refuse any materials dropped off for recycling.

To further advance battery recycling education, Cirba Solutions reaches consumers and businesses through strategic initiatives:

• Battery Smarts Quiz: A free online tool to help people test and improve their battery safety knowledge in minutes.
• WeRecycle Battery Boxes: Convenient, turnkey and compliant recycling solutions that make it easy for consumers and businesses to collect and recycle their batteries safely and responsibly.

"Research shows, that on average, 99 percent of Americans use a lithium-powered device daily, yet nearly 60% cite access to a convenient drop-off location as a barrier to properly recycling their end-of-life batteries," said Rob Brisley, Cirba Solutions' Director of Manufacturing. "As reliance on battery-powered devices continues to be part of daily life, so does the importance of making battery recycling more accessible. Through events like this, we're helping to remove those barriers and provide our local community with a free, simple and responsible way to safely dispose of their used batteries."
