Battery Disposal? - Traxxas_Junkee - 04-16-2006
I'm not sure if this is in the right section if it isn't move it please.
I have two old Mini-T batteries and the stickers came off and I'm not sure what to do with them, I know there was something about recycling on there, but I don't know if it said "recycle" or "do not recycle"

doesnt radio shack have a box for you to toss old batteries in
Battery Disposal? - mikeh - 04-17-2006
Yes! GOTO RADIO SHACK!
Its not safe to throw out rechargable batteries because they contain highly toxic substances.
Radio Shack will take them off your hands and recycle them.

I usually just pitch them but that's because I didn't know about the radio shack thing. I would take them there next time your out and about.

And RS used to have a free Battery of the Month card. Each month you could get a free dry cell battery, just for asking. I stocked up on 9v's on that one (for smoke alarms). Don't know if they still do it.

Also RS sells GP 3300 stick packs for 25 bucks!

Best Buy also has bins near the exit door to pitch old batteries, cell phones and other electronic devices.
