Battery Recycling & More

Interstate All Battery Recycling Event

Interstate All Battery Center® of Everett is hosting its 7th Annual Earth Day Recycling Event on Saturday, April 26 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Last year’s event brought out 2,400+ cars and helped divert 162,000 pounds of hard-to-recycle materials from landfills. Locals showed up with everything from scrap metal and batteries to paint, electronics, clothing, and food donations.

This year, the drive-thru-style event is back and expected to be even bigger. Community partners like DTG Recycle, GreenSheen, Donor Closet, and Volunteers of America® are joining forces once again to offer safe, local recycling—all in one place.
They will take batteries, styrofoam, paint, scrap metal, electronics, and more. Look at the site link below to see the specifics.
