- Sumter County runs "amnesty days" a few times during the year where you can drop off certain materials that cannot be put into the trash. Batteries are one of the items that are accepted.

- I believe there is a Sumter County recycling center that will accept batteries

I would you have to have recipes? If not they will most likely charge the core charge?
