Please dump batteries into the collection buckets so they are loose instead of bagged. Please remove batteries from all devices. Rechargeable batteries are nickel cadmium (NiCd), nickel metal hydride (NiHM), and lithium ion (Li-ion). These batteries are typically found in cordless power tools, cellular and cordless phones, laptop computers, camcorders, digital cameras, and remote control toys.
