Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / February 2005What do you do with your used photo lithium batteries?
Some environment sites allege that non-rechargeable photo lithium batteries are toxic. What do you do with them? > Some environment sites allege that non-rechargeable photo lithium > batteries are toxic. What do you do with them? This depends upon where you live. In the US these generally go into the regular trash unless your locality has a specific ordinance like New York. Only mercury, nickel-cadmium, and lead-acid batteries are federally controlled. Canada requires lithium recycling (among others). Check with your trash company or local government environmental office if you want to be sure. Did you know you can sell your used non-rechargeable Lithium batteries online?

If you recycle, the terrorists have already won.  Signaturehttp://www.pbase.com/bcbaird/ > Some environment sites allege that non-rechargeable photo lithium > batteries are toxic. What do you do with them? The next town over has a once monthly chemical recovery day program and cooperate with my town. I just give everything to a friend who finds reason to go there almost every month. I can't part with an old mercury bulb thermostat. Doesn't need batteries and you never know when the electonic one will die unexpectedly.
