Answer 7

That's a good question.  In many bigger cities now there is a place to take things like batteries and old paint etc.  The toxic items are called household hazardous waste and there are household hazardous waste depots.  If you google your city name and household hazardous waste, something should pop up about a depot.  If you are in a small town you probably don't have anywhere you can take them.

Answer 8

If you're like most people, you just toss used batteries into the nearest available trashcan, never giving them a second thought. What you probably didn't realize is that this method can be harmful to the environment. Batteries should be recycled or disposed of in a proper manner.

The following are general guidelines concerning the proper disposal of Panasonic batteries in all 50 states. This applies to both consumers and non-consumers unless otherwise indicated.

Nickel Cadmium

All Panasonic Nickel Cadmium batteries are classified by the federal government as a hazardous waste and must be recycled. These batteries are accepted for recycling by the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation's (RBRC) Battery Recycling Program. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on recycling your used Nickel Cadmium battery or go to the RBRC website at www.rbrc.org for additional information.

Nickel Metal Hydride

All Panasonic Nickel Metal Hydride batteries are classified by the federal government as a non-hazardous waste and are safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream. Exception: California, which requires non-households to dispose of these batteries in accordance with the California Universal Waste Rules. These batteries, however, do contain recyclable materials and are accepted for recycling by the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation's (RBRC) Battery Recycling Program. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on recycling your used Nickel Metal Hydride battery or go to the RBRC website at www.rbrc.org for additional information.

Alkaline

Since January 1992 all Panasonic Alkaline batteries are manufactured with "no mercury added". These batteries are classified by the federal government as non-hazardous waste and are safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream. Exceptions: California requires non-households to dispose of these batteries in accordance with the California Universal Waste Rules; Minnesota (Hennipen County only) requires consumers and non-consumers to dispose of these batteries as a hazardous waste.

Zinc-Carbon

Same as Alkaline, including exceptions.

Silver Oxide

All Panasonic Silver Oxide batteries contain silver and are considered to be a hazardous waste by the federal government. Non-Consumers must dispose of these batteries in full compliance with the hazardous waste rules. Consumers are covered by the Household exemption under RCRA which allows for these batteries to be disposed of into the municipal waste stream.

CR Lithium

Safe for disposal in the municipal waste stream. Non-consumers should first fully discharge the battery prior to disposal.

Lithium-Ion

All Panasonic Lithium Ion batteries are classified by the federal government as non-hazardous waste and are safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream. These batteries, however, do contain recyclable materials and are accepted for recycling by the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation's (RBRC) Battery Recycling Program.
