Recycling Batteries

Batteries are a part of life.  It’s estimated that most American households have over 30 different kinds of batteries in use, and the average household disposes of 8 batteries a year.  Batteries contain a number of toxins and heavy metals, namely lead.  When batteries are disposed of improperly, they can sit in a landfill and leach these harmful toxins into the ground, air, and water.

While there are relatively few battery recycling facilities in the country as compared to facilities that recycle other materials, it’s still fairly simple to recycle your old batteries.  Batteryrecycling.com provides on solution, allowing you to safely recycle any type of battery, anywhere in the US.
