It depends on your recycler... A lot of stores will accept NiMH and alkaline batteries. Fewer will accept LiON, and fewer still will accept small SLA's (sealed lead-acid) batteries from UPS's, etc.
We have a local recycler (big) that will accept the small SLA's and all the others. However, large SLA's from automobiles, etc, they will actually pay you for them (but only for them). -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Chenault [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2012 12:44 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Recycling Resource I have a bunch of dead batteries but I can't sell them to anyone.

The tough ones are usually CRTs. They contain unprofitable but toxic leaded glass, are bulky and heavy, and *nobody* wants them anymore. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin The information contained in this e-mail, and any attachments hereto, is from The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals® (ASPCA®) and is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
