As a convenience to Jennings County residents, the SWCD office, located in the USDA Service Center at 2600 N State Highway 7, has containers where you can leave household batteries as well as thermometers and thermostats which contain mercury.  As of October, 2008, alkaline batteries are no longer recycled by most recycling centers. However, the SWCD has located a recycling center that will take them and we will accept them at the USDA Service Center and arrange to have them recycled. Consumers are encouraged to use rechargeable batteries which have a much longer life and can be recycled. The best of these are the new low self-discharge rechargeable nickel metal hydride batteries which can be used like alkaline batteries for most purposes.
