- Button Cell Batteries - Hearing aids, watches, etc. can be deposited in specially marked containers at Town Offices, the Municipal Services Facility at 5 Campanelli Drive, and other areas of town.

- Rechargeable Batteries -Small standard size lithium & rechargeable batteries (standard sizes) can be dropped off at the Health Division Office or at the Municipal Services Facility at 5 Campanelli Drive.
