By some counts, Americans buy nearly 180 tons of batteries each year \u2013 a nationwide recycling strategy is wise and responsible. Fortunately, alkaline batteries haven\u2019t contained harmful materials for over 25 years, and the U.S. passed a law in 1996 phasing out the use of mercury in batteries, so progress has been made. In fact, unless you live in California, you\u2019ve been tossing non-rechargeable batteries safely in the trash for at least 19 years. Truth is, consumers are looking for alternatives \u2013 and today there are options.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Another extremely useful resource is\u00a0Call2Recycle<\/a>, an\u00a0Energizer\u00ae<\/sub><\/em> partner for 20+ years, and the only free rechargeable battery collection and recycling program in North America.<\/p>

But does recycling really work?<\/strong>
Great example: since its inception in 1994, Call2Recycle has recycled over 100 million pounds of used rechargeable batteries. This national mindset to recycle has enabled\u00a0Energizer\u00ae<\/sub><\/em>\u00a0to pioneer technology that reuses battery material to create new batteries. So already we\u2019re helping to make a difference.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
