Recycle Batteries Separately
Most hearing aids have batteries that contain mercury and cannot be thrown out. You can store these batteries in a small container and recycle them when the container is partially filled. Find out how to recycle these batteries.
OK in the Garbage
Hearing aids can be thrown in the garbage. Remember to first remove the batteries to dispose of separately, since they most likely contain mercury.
Alternative Ways to Recycle
