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.
