Whether it is recycling rechargeable batteries or cellular phones, expanding our commitment to environmental quality, or providing an environmentally friendly workplace, RadioShack is not just interested but involved in what lies ahead for the next generation.

If It's a Rechargeable Battery, It's Recyclable at RadioShack!

RadioShack stores and participating RadioShack dealers help make it easy to recycle rechargeable batteries once they've worn out. We are a major partner in the rechargeable battery recycling program sponsored by the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC). Recycling rechargeable batteries helps save natural resources and keeps batteries out of solid waste landfills.

RadioShack was the first national retailer to partner with RBRC in 1996 and offers over 6,000 locations for recycling, which makes us the largest retailer in the nation offering the convenient service.

Our stores accept the types of rechargeable batteries commonly found in wireless phones, laptop computers, camcorders, digital cameras, radio-control toys and cordless power tools. This includes:

• Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd)
• Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH)
• Lithium Ion (Li-ion)
• Small Sealed Lead Acid (Pb) batteries
  weighing up to 2 pounds

RadioShack Makes It Easy to Recycle Your Old Cell Phone

The Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation and RadioShack also have teamed up to recycle used cell phones. Now, in addition to recycling your rechargeable batteries at RadioShack stores and participating RadioShack dealers, you can bring in your old cell phone for recycling, too. By recycling old cell phones, consumers can help keep unwanted materials out of landfills and preserve natural resources. All wireless phones – regardless of condition and with or without chargers – will be accepted. Phones collected through the RBRC's Call2Recycle program will be refurbished and resold when possible. For every cell phone collected at a RadioShack store location, and subsequently refurbished and resold, $1 will be contributed to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

RadioShack Is Committed to the Highest Standards of Environmental Quality

RadioShack is a responsible handler of reusable materials and hazardous waste. For example, our product distribution centers reuse shipping boxes, recycle corrugated paper, and use internally generated materials (primarily scrap paper) for packing. In addition to buying recycled paint thinner, and paints and solvents low in volatile organic compounds, our sign department recycles the aluminum, plastic, steel, paper and lumber used in building the exterior signs for our stores.
