Then there are the items we use less frequently but that we still have in our homes: power tools, camcorders, cordless vacuums, remote control toys. There are more items that other people and businesses use that are missing from the above list. (like cordless medical devices, two-way radios, scanners…)

Basically, if it requires being plugged into a wall socket to get recharged, the rechargeable battery inside can be recycled 100% at http://www.call2recycle.org. Type in your zip code to find participating drop off locations in your neighborhood.

The program is free and nationwide. 100% of the rechargeable batteries get recycled, here in North America. The recycling process is environmentally sound. Nothing goes to the landfills, no waste is sent to or processed in developing countries.

Conserve natural resources, preserve the environment – use AND recycle rechargeable batteries.
