| The
nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries you use in cordless
and cellular phones, camcorders and cordless power tools can
be recycled through a program sponsored by the Rechargeable
Battery Recycling Corp. and then be recharged to be used several
times over. To identify a nickel-cadmium rechargeable battery
look for the "Ni-Cd" label on it.
Instructions
Contact the Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corp. (RBRC), at (800) 8-BATTERY to learn how and where to
recycle nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries.
Check with your local curbside recycling
program to see whether you can recycle batteries with your
other curbside recyclables. The RBRC has established curbside
programs in some communities.

Recycle your batteries at the following retail

City, Radio Shack and Sears.
Call the department of public works in your
county to find out about recycling batteries. Also call (800)
CLEANUP for state recycling information.
To prolong the life of your battery, be sure
to charge it overnight (14 to 16 hours) when it is brand-new;
allow batteries to cool down before you recharge them; avoid
overcharging your battery (this will shorten its life); and
try not to leave cell phones, radios and other electronics
in the charger overnight.
