The Bite

Well, you should hop into recycling mode. Whether rechargeable or alkaline (yes – both kinds are recyclable), getting rid of your batteries in an eco-friendlier way is as easy as banging a drum.

The Benefits

  • It’s good for the planet. Recycling prevents battery toxins from leaching into soil, waterways, and the air.
  • Resources that keep going and going, from lithium to lead, battery companies can recover the chemicals and reuse them (60% of the world’s lead supply comes from recycled car batteries alone).
  • Drop spots are as ubiquitous as that pink you-know-what. Just drop off old ones at a participating retail store when you’re picking up new ones.
