GREEN LIGHT: go and take action

Rechargeable Batteries

Hundreds of products – everything from laptops, PDAs, hair dryers, and cordless tools – are powered by rechargeable batteries. Batteries are usually either nickel-cadmium (nicad), lithium ion, or nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH). All should be recycled to reclaim valuable compounds and to keep toxins out of the environment.

There are several places in the Fargo/Moorhead area where batteries can be recycled: Batteries Plus (2119 13th Ave. S. Fargo), Interstate All Battery Center (2627 University Dr. S. Fargo or 4430 17th Ave. Fargo), or City of Fargo HHW Program (606 43 ½ St. N. Fargo – Fargo residents only).
