How to Recycle Sony Camera Batteries

Recycling items is a great way to help out in the environment. A lot of different things that one may not even think about are recyclable, such as camera batteries. Some camera batteries are made up of recycled materials, and Sony has a Take Back Recycling Program that its camera users can participate in.


  1. Find out if your Sony camera has rechargeable batteries. Rechargeable batteries in general are made out of nickel-cadmium and no-rechargeable batteries are made out of lithium. Figure out if your Sony camera battery is made out of rechargeable or non-rechargeable material.

  2. Go to a Sony Style store in your local area and take your Sony camera battery. Go to the Sony website and search for the nearest Stony Style store using the websites store locator.  You will find a Sony GreenFill Recycle Drop box one you get inside the store and you can drop your Sony camera battery inside.

  3. Find a retail location that is participating in the Sony Take Back Recycling program that you can take your Sony camera battery to if you do not have a Sony Style store in your local area. Participating stores can be found on the Sony website and they will also have a Sony GreenFill Recycle Drop Box inside their store.

  4. Contact your local recycling center if you are unable to find a Sony GreenFill Recycle Drop Box anywhere in your area. It is possible that your local recycling center may be able to recycle your Sony camera battery at their center.  When you call make sure you mention what material your battery is made from and if they accept that type of material at their recycling service center.
