Batteries will be taken by our board member Lily Altaffer to another recycler. She can take household batteries, automotive and equipment batteries, power tool batteries, and small lawn batteries. Please keep these items separated from the other items.

People unloading boxes from a truck in a parking lot, possibly for an event or donation drive. — On September 7, 2024 the CCNRD collected about 6,150 pounds of electronic waste and nearly 50 large batteries, and a large quanitity of smaller batteries for recycling.

At the event, items are weighed, categorized, and loaded onto a trailer with the help of Protech Computing and local volunteers. A list of acceptable items is provided ahead of the event to help residents sort their items.

On September 13, 2025, the CCNRD held an electronic recycling event in Sundance collecting about 4,800 pounds of electronic waste, and about 700 pounds of car and household batteries. These events prevent unwanted electronics from entering the landfill in Crook County or from being shipped to other countries. The CCNRD takes great pride in providing this service with the financial assistance of the Crook County Commissioners. Sponsorships from the City of Sundance, Sundance State Bank, Powder River Energy, ONEOK, Neiman Enterprises, and Pinnacle Bank were received as well to help offset the rising costs in recycling and allowed the CCNRD to collect items without charging to take them, with the exception of TVs.
