MESA, Ariz., 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 Mesa, Ariz. facility on Thursday, Nov. 12, 2026.

Mesa, Ariz. Collection Event:
The public is welcome to drop off their end-of-life batteries for FREE recycling in Mesa on Thursday, Nov. 12 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. local time. The facility is located at 618 E Auto Center Dr. STE 111, Mesa, Ariz. 85204.

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 the average American owns 11 lithium battery-powered devices, yet nearly 70 percent do not know where to recycle them and 64 percent do now know how," said Daniel Beltran, Cirba Solutions' Plant Manager in Mesa. "The use of battery-powered devices is not going away, and we need to prioritize educating consumers when it comes to the safe and proper disposal of end-of-life batteries. This collection event is just one way we are trying to increase battery recycling awareness in the greater community."
