Rechargeable Batteries Need To Be Recycled Too

So you’ve had some rechargeable batteries for a year or two. Goodness only knows how many batteries you’ve saved from the garbage landfills by using the rechargeable ones. It’s one of those things we cannot see because it did not happen. Literally thousands of batteries are being kept from landfills because people recharge their batteries more and more.

It would be great if there was some sort of “Battery Recycle Value” or “BRV” put on each battery purchased so when they are recycled the purchaser would be reimbursed, helping to encourage recycling. In the meantime, those of us who are willing will continue to make that extra trip to Radio Shack or wherever you take your spent batteries. If there was some kind of system set up for reimbursing for recycled batteries, we at Battery Boulevard would be able to give some sort of credit toward the next purchase of recycleable batteries.

The Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to rechargeable battery and cell phone recycling. Through RBRC’s free program, Call2Recycle™, you can help protect our environment by recycling the rechargeable batteries found in the products used in your building projects. These electronic devices include cordless power tools, two-way radios, laptops, and cell phones, digital cameras, CD players, etc.. With over 30,000 drop-off locations, it’s easy and free to recycle your used rechargeable batteries.
