Rechargeable Batteries
Using rechargeable batteries saves money and reduces waste. When these batteries have reached the end of their extended lifespans, residents may recycle them at a variety of locations throughout Central Virginia.
Initiated by the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC), this national program was established to recover and recycle nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries such as those found in cordless appliances (including phones), laptop computers, cordless power tools and camcorders. It has been expanded to include nickel-metal hydride, lithium ion, and small (less than 2.2 pounds) sealed lead acid batteries. Now all small rechargeable batteries sold in the U.S. can be recycled.
Local governments and some retailers collect these rechargeable batteries at various sites through Central Virginia. The RBRC also continues to work with local electronics retailers such as Radio Shack and Circuit City or home improvement centers such as Home Depot to collect old batteries from consumers at the point-of-purchase.
