The City of Fremont has teamed up with the Alameda County Household Hazardous Waste Program (HHW) to create more convenient drop-off options for recycling batteries. Recent laws make it illegal to dispose of batteries in the trash, including common household types, such as alkaline, rechargeable, and smaller button-types. In addition to the existing County HHW drop-off locations, and the Republic Services Center on Boyce Road, new battery drop-off locations open to the public include:
- City Hall - 3300 Capitol Ave (Lobby/Reception Desk)
- Development Center - 39550 Liberty Street (Lobby)
- Maintenance Center – 42551 Osgood Road
- Senior Center at Central Park
- Centerville Community Center – 3355 Country Dr (Lobby)
- Irvington Community Center – 41855 Blacow Rd (Lobby)
- Warm Springs Community Center – 47300 Fernald St (Lobby)
- Los Cerritos Community Center – 3377 Alder Ave (Lobby)
