Why Recycle?
The U.S. EPA estimates that more than 350 million rechargeable batteries, made of heavy metals like nickel cadmium, lithium ion, mercury, nickel metal hydride and lead acid, are bought each year in the United States. If they are not properly managed, these elements can:
- Pollute the lakes and streams
- Cause issues at solid waste landfills
- Bring lead and acid into the environment and water
- Expose corrosive acids
- Burn or harm the eyes and skin
