October: National Power Tool Battery Recycling Month

by Ashley Schiller

DeWALT, a leading manufacturer of industrial power tools, is encouraging participation in National Power Tool Battery Recycling Month during October, reports Utility Products.

Customers who recycle a power tool battery at one of DeWALT’s 87 service centers will receive a $10 discount on a new battery purchase.

DeWALT is coordinating its efforts with the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC), a non-profit public service organization that recycles used rechargeable batteries and retired cell phones.  RBRC will  recycle all the batteries collected this month.

The program accepts nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride and lithium ion batteries from any battery manufacturer.

No DeWALT service center near you? Find another location to recycle your batteries with Earth911.
