Battery Recycle Video
VIDEO SUMMARY
What do a camcorder, laptop, cell phone and cordless drill have in common? A rechargeable Ni-Cd battery. There are thousands of these batteries out there that go bad. Don't throw them in the garbage. They contain toxic materials that can harm the environment. Many of these rechargeable batteries can be recycled.
Most recycling programs are free. If you battery has nickel cadmium on it, stores like Sears, Wal-Mart, Circuit City, Radio Shack or Target could be an authorized recycling center. When that battery dies, do the right thing, help the environment and recycle that battery.

Thanks for the great tip about recycling rechargeable batteries. In
addition to Ni-Cd, the Call2Recycle program accepts all small household
rechargeable batteries including Ni-MH,Li-ion, and Small Sealed Lead Acid.
These batteries are now found powering most cordless electronics such as
laptops, digital cameras, cell phones, electric toothbrushes, electric
razors, cordless vacuums, in addition to power tools. The seal featured in
your video is part of the Call2Recycle program. It shows that the battery
manufacturer is financially supporting the free consumer recycling program.
Visit the nonprofit www.call2recycle.org to find convenient drop off
locations in your neighborhood.
