Many electronics that we enjoy in our daily lives, from the cordless phone to that cordless drill in the garage,  run on batteries.  More than 3 billion batteries are sold in the US each year.  All batteries are considered hazardous waste in California when they are discarded. Batteries are considered hazardous because they contain heavy metals and toxic and/or corrosive materials.  Rechargeable batteries can be recycled over and over again, reclaiming valuable materials and rare metals for use in other products.

Under California law, most major retailers in California that sell rechargeable batteries MUST have a FREE collection program made available to the public.

PLEASE DO NOT PLACE THESE ITEMS IN THE GARBAGE!
