How to Recycle Old Batteries

Got lots of old batteries and cell phones laying and round and don’t know what to do with them? Take ‘em to a Call2Recycle® center, located at many common retailers. Call2Recycle is the only no cost rechargeable battery and cell phone collection program in North America.
Since 1996, over 70 million pounds of rechargeable batteries have been collected through Call2Recycle. It has established a network of 30,000 collection sites throughout the U.S. and Canada. Click here to find a collection site near you.

Various federal, state and provincial regulations govern the proper disposal of rechargeable batteries and cellphones, naming Call2Recycle in official legislation as the collection method for eco-safe rechargeable battery and cell phone reclamation and recycling. Call2Recycle is the first battery program to obtain Responsible Recycling® (R2) certification and e-Steward recognition by the Basel Action Network (BAN) and upholds strict third-party standards for environmental safety and social responsibility.
