No matter how good rechargeable technology becomes, one thing is inevitable: all Rechargeable batteries have a limited lifespan. So what do you do when your rechargeable batteries just won't hold a charge anymore?

One thing is for sure, don't throw them away! With the amount of battery operated gadgets and tools sold these days, battery disposal has become an environmental concern. Rechargeable batteries contain toxic chemicals that can leak from discarded batteries and contaminate fresh water supplies, both above and below the ground. The chemicals in rechargeable batteries can wreck havoc on ecosystems.

So the best answer is to recycle your old batteries. The Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC) accepts all types of rechargeable batteries (even from your cell phone or laptop) and safely disposes of toxic chemicals that cannot be reused. Their service is free and they have dropoff locations all over the USA. Plus, they have Richard Karn (Al from "Home Improvement") as their spokesman! 

Places that will dispose of old rechargeable batteries properly include nationwide Home Depot and Lowe's stores and also many local hardware and home improvement shops. If you're in Lakewood, Colorado, we will take them off your hands right here at the ToolKing Superstore. Let's all do our part to improve our environment.
