Special handling. Don't put in any bin.
PUT CLEAR TAPE OVER THE CONTACTS OF LITHIUM BATTERIES.
Residents in a house or small apartment complex, put loose household batteries in a clear plastic bag and place on top of the black/gray bin.
Residents in multi-family apartment buildings can ask their property manager to request a FREE orange battery collection bucket by calling Recology at (415) 330-1300.
