How to Recycle Batteries : tips and tricks

"Download MP3 Audio" File of This Narration 

• Step 1: Collect your leftover batteries

Collect all your leftover batteries. Rechargeable batteries from cell phones and laptops are especially important to recycle since they contain toxic materials that could damage the environment. Also, car batteries are always recyclable.
If you don’t know if your battery needs to be recycled, follow this basic rule—if it’s rechargeable, it’s recyclable.

• Step 2: Check with the store

Check the store where you bought your electronics to see if they recycle. Many do.

• Step 3: Locate a recycling center

If the store doesn’t recycle, find a recycling center on the nonprofit Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation’s website at rbrc.org. Type in your zip code and a list of locations appears.
You can also call 1-800-8-Battery if you have questions about recycling rechargeable batteries.

• Step 4: Recycle pre-1997 batteries

If you have other used batteries like AA, AAA, C, D and nine-volt batteries, they will need to be recycled if they were made before 1997—since they contain large amounts of mercury. One place that recycles this sort of battery is batteryrecycling.com. They charge 85 cents a pound, but isn’t the environment worth it?

• Step 5: Trash regular post-1997 batteries

Your household batteries made after 1997 usually can’t be recycled. Because they no longer contain so much mercury, you can just throw them away—but perhaps you should consider using rechargeable batteries instead.

Tips: Top Ten Ways to Recycle

List of the top 10 ways to recycle at home and in the office.

1. Buy recycled paper and print on both sides. When using paper in the office, print on both sides of the sheet and recycle the paper when you are finished. By recycling one ton of paper, you can save 17 trees, almost 7,000 gallons of water and more than three cubic yards of landfill space.
2. Recycle your outdated technology. According to EPA, Americans throw out two million tons of e-waste each year. Avoid adding to that waste by recycling your old technology. For more information on electronic recycling, 
3. Make recycling bins readily available. Make sure your home and office are outfitted with recycling bins for paper, plastic and metal. Keep them out in the open and label them appropriately. Sometimes the convenience factor is all that is needed.
4. Recycle your empty ink and toner cartridges. Almost eight cartridges are thrown out in the United States every second of every day. That's almost 700,000 cartridges per day.
5. Buy remanufactured ink and toner cartridges. Each remanufactured cartridge keeps approximately 2.5 pounds of metal and plastic out of landfills and saves about a half gallon of oil.
6. Recycle old newspapers laying around the office. When finished reading the newspaper, either leave it for someone else to read or recycle it.
7. Look for the recycled option in all the products you buy. It's not just paper that is recycled.
8. Buy rechargeable batteries. It takes 1,000 regular batteries to equal the lifespan of one rechargeable battery. When you are discarding your batteries, recycle them.
9. Purchase rewritable CDs and DVDs so that you can reuse them from project to project.
10. Reuse your morning coffee cup. Or better yet, buy a mug to avoid the waste caused by throwing away the paper or Styrofoam.
