Batteries and Battery Containing Devices

Devices that contain batteries should be packed in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry best practices, which typically include the guidelines below:

• Loose batteries should not be returned through this program.
• Only one device per box.
• The device should be completely powered off and packed in a way to prevent accidental activation.
• The device should have less than a 30% charge.
• The device should be intact, not in pieces (battery not exposed).
• Devices with swollen batteries should not use this mailback option. If you have a device with a swollen battery, please refer to https://www.epa.gov/recycle/used-lithium-ion-batteries  and https://batterynetwork.org/safety/ for safe handling instructions. If you live in Michigan, you are eligible for free disposal options. Please reach out to MRM for additional information.
