If you have a device at home that’s rechargeable, it has a recyclable battery.
That’s according to the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation, which operates Call2Recycle.
Rechargeable devices, including rechargeable home phones, cell phones, digital cameras or camcorders, remote-control toys, power tools, cordless vaccuums and computers, all have batteries that can be turned into new batteries or recycled as scrap metal.
Call2Recycle features a list of local drop-off locations, including major retailers and hardware stores, who all accept the batteries for recycling for free. If your device no longer works and you want to recycle it, too, visit Earth911.com or Snohomish County Solid Waste for more recycling options.
