Battery Recycling
AtBatt.com accepts and recycles most batteries for free. Most batteries are made of hazardous components and toxic chemicals that can be released into our environment if they are not properly disposed of. If properly recycled, most types of batteries can be recycled up to 100% to be used to make new batteries.
Why is it so important to recycle batteries?
Batteries are made of hazardous components and toxic chemicals that can be released into our environment if they are not properly disposed of. Recycling your old and used batteries ensures that our soil stays clean and undisturbed from battery waste.
Did you know that almost 100% of a lead acid battery can be reused? Recycling keeps us from using up the Earth's limited resources and keeps CO2 emissions low.
Batteries are an important part of our day to day lives. From cell phones to cars, we use batteries to power our on the go lifestyle. But just as we must be responsible as to how we use batteries, we must also be responsible in how we handle these batteries after they are of no use to us.
Recycling is a shared responsibility
How Do I Recycle My Batteries with AtBatt.com?
Step 1: Separate your batteries by chemistry (Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, Li-Ion, Sealed Lead Acid, etc.)
Step 2: Wrap each individual battery in bubble wrap. The bubble wrap will ensure that the batteries do not become damaged during transport as leaks could occur. It also keeps the contacts from touching other contacts as it could cause a short circuit.
Step 3: Place each group of batteries in their own separate cardboard box.
Step 4: Label the outside of each box "FOR RECYCLING" and then label each box according to the chemistry of the batteries within.
Step 5: Use packing-peanuts to ensure that the batteries will not move around inside the boxes while being transported.
Step 6: Seal all the boxes with reinforced packing tape.
Step 7:Ship out the properly package batteries to AtBatt's Battery Recycling address below:
