How do I properly recycle batteries?
RadioShack is part of a national program called Charge Up to Recycle, allowing customers to drop off used rechargeable batteries at any of our over 7,200 stores nationwide. Click here to find the store nearest you. It's an easy way to protect our environment and conserve Earth's natural resources. By recycling the batteries from your cordless or wireless phone, laptop, camcorder or power tools, materials can be reclaimed to make stainless steel products and new batteries.
RBRC (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) will recycle Ni-Cd, NiMH, lithium-ion, lithium-ion-polymer batteries and lead-acid batteries up to 2 lbs./1 kg per battery. It does not recycle primary batteries, rechargeable alkalines or lead-acid batteries weighing more than 2 lbs./1 kg each. For more information, visit www.rbrc.org. Please contact other recycling centers in your area.
