Americans purchase nearly 3 billion dry-cell batteries every year to power radios, toys, cellular phones, watches, laptop computers and portable tools.
There are two types of dry-cell batteries:
(1) primary-those that can not be reused, and
(2) Secondary also called “rechargeable”-those that can be reused.
Dry cell primary batteries include alkaline and carbon-zinc (9 volt D, C, AA, AAA) mercuric-oxide (button, some cylindrical and rectangular), silver-oxide and zinc-air (button) and lithium (9-volt, C, AA, coin, button).
Dry cell secondary or rechargeable batteries include nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride and lithium-Ion.
For a small fee per pound, All Battery Sales and Service will accept any dry chemistry battery for recycling, saving you or your company 30% to 40% compared to “mail in box programs”.
We provide 5 gallon buckets for collection of batteries in shops and warehouses and acrylic tubes for offices, libraries, and retail outlets.
Call 800-562-3212 to set up an account and start collection of your waste dry chemistry batteries.
