Disposal
Disposal of device
Electrical devices may not be thrown away
as part of normal household trash. If you can
no longer use your electrical device, dispose
of it in accordance with the legal provisions
applicable in your state. This will ensure that
old electrical devices are recycled and environ-
mental pollution is kept to a minimum. Further
information about disposal is available on the
Internet at www.epa.gov.
Disposal of batteries
Some batteries contain heavy metals such as
mercury, lead, cadmium, and nickel; therefore,
many communities do not allow them to be thrown
away with your regular trash. Recycling is always
the best option for disposing of used batteries.
Dry-Cell Batteries are used in a variety of elec-
tronics and include alkaline and carbon zinc
(9-volt, D, C, AA, AAA), mercuric-oxide (button,
some cylindrical and rectangular), silver-oxide
and zinc-air (button), and lithium (9-volt, C, AA,
coin, button, rechargeable) batteries. Look for
in-store recycling bins or community collection
events to dispose of these batteries.
