Mercury Refining, LLC (located in Albany, NY) is the largest recycler of silver oxide batteries in the United States.  We have been in the recycling business for more than 50 years and is fully permitted by both the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

Our program offers the highest return for spent silver cells while ensuring compliance with all applicable environmental regulations, relieving the shipper of any future liability.

Batteries received at our facility are sorted into various metal systems for proper recycling and/or treatment.  All button cells received are first processed for mercury separation and recovery.  Although the sale of mercury batteries has been banned for many years, they still commonly appear in button cell shipments.  Also, older silver oxide cells contain mercury.  Mercury Refining, LLC is the only battery recycler that processes silver oxide cells for the recovery of mercury.
