SINGLE USE ALKALINE BATTERIES (AA, AAA, button…):
They are not recycled in Miami Dade County unfortunately.
THE BEST OPTION for offices pursuing the Green Office program: Order your Big Green Box, collect your batteries, when full ship it back.
You may be able to find drop off locations in Miami-Dade: insert your zip code and key word "single use battery" on the RecycleNation website
UNIVERSAL WASTE (bulbs, rechargeable batteries, power surges, mercury containing equipment):
