TGIF. It's time for the City's weekly recap to help us stay better connected, informed, and prepared.

Let's go…
A graphic that says "did you know?"
Graphic with text: “All household batteries must now be brought to special collection. It’s the law!” Image shows several types of batteries, including AA batteries, a phone battery, a power tool battery, a 9-volt battery, and small button batteries. Bottom text reads: “Batteries Are Everywhere #KnowBeforeYouThrow,” with an Illinois icon on the left and a symbol showing batteries should not go in trash or recycling on the right.

How to Recycle Your Household Batteries

Got old batteries at home? Here’s the good news: battery recycling just got easier, and it’s FREE.

As of January 1, 2026, Illinois’ new Portable and Medium Format Battery Stewardship Act (SB3686) requires battery manufacturers to support battery collection at no cost to residents.

That means loose household batteries (regular and rechargeable) should go to a battery drop-off site, not your trash or recycling cart.
