Used photo lithium batteries wanted, for recycling
Here's what we can do about depleted CR2 and CR123A photo lithium
batteries: http://www.realgoods.com/board/tdoc.cfm?td=812&tm=2947 Please forward this information to other people, especially those (camera buffs) who use digital cameras, electric scooters (hospitals), electric patient lifts (nursing homes) or large number of 9V alkalines (sound studios.) You (yes, You-Everyday-Joe!) can do something quick 'n easy for this polluted planet, our-home, Earth. As you may have read, we humans are using up 120 of this Earth's resources. And, are you still dumping alkaline and lead-acid batteries? But, car batteries are recycled now (aren't they?) Mebbe, mebbe not -- for, according to one investigative report, "The Myth of Automobile Battery Recycling", car battery acids are simply dumped in Third World streams by people too poor, too ignorant, to know not what they're doing. And, there will be future generations to pay. Can I really do something? Yup. Here's how, grasshopper... You (and perhaps your association members) can mail in used photo 3V Lithium batteries (such as CR2, or CR123A) to any of the following locations, where they will be revived (reconditioned) and put back into service. There is no charge to ship them to these locations. Small Lithium batteries are very light, 10 of them can be mailed for under 2 in a homemade cardboard mailer, using recycled cardboard. Non-leaking alkaline batteries (especially 9V) will also be accepted he - Choices Market, 1202 Richards Street, Vancouver BC V6B 3G2 - The Roundhouse Community Cent 181 Roundhouse Mews, Vancouver BC V6Z 2W3 - Capers Community Market, 1675 Robson Street, Vancouver, BC V6G 1C8 Please forward this information to other people, especially those (camera buffs) who use digital cameras, electric scooters (hospitals), electric patient lifts (nursing homes) or large number of 9V alkalines (sound studios.) Other kinds of batteries? Those 12AH to 34AH "gel" sealed lead acid batteries, you can send them in, as well. Some of these will be reconditioned and given away to non-profits, such as the Agape Street Mission. Here's where to ship your used gel cell batteries: - Eternal Abundance, 1025 Commercial Drive, Vancouver, BC V5L 3X1 - JV Bike Sales & Rentals, 1387 Richards St, Yaletown, BC V6B 3G6 |
