Single-use, household batteries are not accepted in the program in the U.S. However, in Canada, along with rechargeables, they may be recycled at any participating location in the provinces of Manitoba or British Columbia or Canada-wide at any of the following retail locations: Best Buy Canada, Future Shop and Sony Style.
