Do you accept power tool batteries for recycling?
Yes — we take power tool batteries free, working or broken, any brand and any age. Bring them to Computer Recycling LLC at 125 E 10th Ave, North Kansas City, MO 64116. No appointment, no minimum quantity, no fee. We are open Monday to Friday 8am–3pm and Saturday 8am–2pm. Pull around to the back dock, ring the bell, and our crew comes out to unload for you — most drop-offs take under five minutes. Nothing is landfilled: working gear is refurbished for reuse and the rest is broken down for material recovery through R2v3 or e-Stewards certified partners. Larger volumes can be picked up instead.

Battery Packs We Accept
We accept all power tool battery packs regardless of brand, voltage, or condition. All chemistries: lithium-ion (Li-Ion), nickel-cadmium (NiCad), nickel-metal hydride (NiMH), and lithium-polymer (LiPo). All voltages — 12V, 18V, 20V MAX, 40V, 60V, and FLEXVOLT. DeWalt, Milwaukee M18/M12, Makita 18V LXT, Ryobi ONE+, Bosch, Ridgid, Craftsman, and every other brand. Dead, swollen, old, or damaged — bring them all. Need to recycle the tool itself? See our power tool recycling page.
Why Battery Recycling Matters
Power tool batteries are among the most hazardous items in household waste. Lithium-ion packs can overheat, ignite, or explode if punctured or crushed in landfills and garbage trucks — they are the leading cause of waste-facility fires. NiCad batteries contain cadmium, a toxic heavy metal and known carcinogen that bioaccumulates in soil and water. Professional recycling safely discharges cells, separates chemistries, and recovers cobalt, lithium, nickel, and manganese while keeping dangerous materials out of landfills and waterways.
Battery Buyback & Value Recovery
High-capacity battery packs (5Ah, 6Ah, 8Ah, 12Ah) that still hold a charge have strong resale value — especially Milwaukee M18 HD, DeWalt 20V/60V FLEXVOLT, and Makita 18V LXT packs. Large quantities of battery packs from construction companies, fleet maintenance, or facility operations are ideal for buyback. Contact us with what you have — even mixed lots of dead packs have scrap value from recoverable metals.
