What can I do with exhausted rechargeable batteries?
Rechargeable nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd), Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH), Lithium Ion (Li-ion) and Small Sealed Lead (Pb) batteries are accepted for recycling in a North America-wide program run by the battery industry called Call2Recycle! Once your rechargeable batteries no longer keep their charge, you can take them to any of these participating retailers: London Drugs, The Source by Circuit City, Staples, Canadian Tire, Home Depot, Home Hardware, Sears and Zellers. Call the RCBC Recycling Hotline or search for drop-off locations on the RCBC Recyclepedia. You can also visit the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation website to find a drop off location in your community: www.call2recycle.org.
