Recycle those old batteries!!
Nicad, NiMH and Li-Ion batteries should be recycled. Be environmentally conscious - do NOT throw these batteries in the trash.
If you don’t know where your local recycling facility is, call the Portable Rechargeable Battery Association at 1-800-822-8837. They will provide you with the address of the recycling center nearest to you.
For smaller batteries like cell phone batteries it’s simple to recycle these as there is a program called Call2Recycle they have set up drop points at various local retailers so we can make a difference. Here is a list of the retailers in the USA .
