Environmentally
Concerned
Every day thousands of batteries are
disposed of in landfills. Batteries contain hazardous and toxic components
that will not decompose or breakdown safely in a landfill. Although there
are laws against such disposal of Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd)
and other types of batteries, the public is often unaware of alternative
disposal methods. They may also not be aware that they are in violations
of the law by disposing of the batteries in their household trash.
Rechargeable battery components can be
recycled. Strange as it may seem even fine silverware can be made of this
dead useless battery. Many other useful products can also be made from
the recycling of these batteries.
Centre
Communications is happy to assist in the recycling of
these seemingly useless batteries. We have collection boxes at each of
our locations and will gladly accept any used rechargeable battery* to be
recycled.
We do get satisfaction in knowing that we
have helped to reclaim these batteries, lessening the negative impact on
our environment and allowing for something useful to be created from what
was considered trash.
Centre
Communications receives no compensation for this
effort. We volunteer our time and other resources to complete this
effort.
To learn more click here for the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation
web site. You may even find a location more convenient to you to properly
dispose of these used batteries. If you are a business and wish to join
the program this web site will get you up and running in no time.
We welcome you to bring your batteries in
to either of our locations.
Thank you!
