Communities and public agencies throughout the U.S. and Canada are recycling newspapers, plastic, aluminum and glass. You can add portable rechargeable batteries and cell phones to that list.

Police and fire departments use cell phones and rechargeable batteries in their 2-way radios and walkie-talkies. Government agencies use rechargeable batteries in bar code readers and laptop computers. You'll find rechargeable batteries in hospitals, too, where portable defibrillators and heart monitors are saving lives.

RBRC's Call2Recycle™ program is designed to keep rechargeable batteries and cell phones out of the solid waste stream, adhering to the federal and state laws requiring the proper disposal of some types of used rechargeable batteries. This program offers your community and public agency the tools to implement a simple, no cost recycling plan.
