Maybe you received a new cell phone over the winter holidays, or you and your kids are blazing through batteries in toys, tablets, laptops and gaming devices. Eventually, batteries are depleted and cell phones need to be retired – fortunately, you can dispose of these items while keeping safety and sustainability in mind.
Call2Recycle provides an easy way for consumers and organizations to recycle cell phones and batteries. Just visit https://www.call2recycle.org/locator/ and enter your ZIP code to generate a nearby drop-off location, from among 30,000 collection sites in the U.S. and Canada.
Fun fact:
When batteries are recycled, valuable metals can be recovered and used in new products such as silverware, pots and pans, new batteries, and even golf clubs!
