Recycling Corp. Provides Free Business Enrollment

ENVIRONMENT

The Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC), a non- profit organization dedicated to recycling rechargeable batteries and cell phones, will now provide its program to businesses nationwide free of charge.

Call2Recycle provides businesses with a convenient way to collect and recycle used rechargeable batteries found in products such as cordless power tools, two-way radios, cell phones, laptop computers, bar code readers, portable printers, and PDAs. Through RBRC’s recycling network, reusable metals from nickel-cadmium, lithiumion, nickel metal hydride and small sealed lead (Pb) batteries are recovered and recycled to make new products such as new batteries and stainless steel. Cell phones are recycled or refurbished and resold when possible, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting national charities such as the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

“RBRC has the largest network of drop-off locations in the U.S. and our mission is to expand this network to all businesses that want to implement a free and easy rechargeable battery and cell phone recycling program into their workplace,” said Ralph Millard, executive vice president of RBRC.

Businesses interested in enrolling in the Call2Recyle program can visit www.call2recycle.org or call toll-free (877)723-1297.
