Recycle your Household Batteries at EDCO

Did you know that Americans purchase nearly 3 billion dry-cell batteries every year to power radios, toys, cellular phones, watches, laptop computers, and portable power tools? Dry-cell batteries include alkaline and carbon zinc (9-volt, D, C, AA, AAA), mercuric-oxide (button, some cylindrical and rectangular), silver-oxide and zinc-air (button), and lithium (9-volt, C, AA, coin, button). On average, each person in the United States discards eight dry-cell batteries per year.

Batteries contain heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, and nickel, which can contaminate the environment when batteries are improperly disposed of. When incinerated, certain metals might be released into the air or can concentrate in the ash produced by the combustion process. Recycling batteries keeps heavy metals out of landfills and the air. Recycling also saves resources because recovered plastic and metals can be used to make new batteries.

One way to reduce the number of batteries in the waste stream is to purchase rechargeable batteries. Nearly one in five dry-cell batteries purchased in the United States is rechargeable. Over its useful life, each rechargeable battery may substitute for hundreds of single-use batteries.

You can now conveniently recycle your household batteries for FREE at an EDCO facility near you.

EDCO Named as a 2009 Environmental Partner of the City of San Diego’s Environmental Services Department!

City of San Diego Environmental PartnerThe Environmental Partner Award is a special recognition reserved for businesses which have worked closely with the Environmental Services Department (ESD) during the award year, contributed substantially to the City's compliance with the State's 50% waste reduction and diversion mandate, and served as a leader within the community for others to see and emulate.

ESD recognized EDCO for its continued leadership and improvements to the region's recycling infrastructure which has reduced the load on community landfills and conserved resources for future use, and for actively being involved in developing community recycling programs and new markets for collected materials. EDCO was also recognized for its collaboration with ESD, its vision and investments in advanced technologies which led to the development of the mixed construction and demolition (C&D) processing infrastructure in our region and the implementation of the City's C&D Ordinance, and its support of the City's residents and ESD’s waste diversion efforts in response to the 2007 Wild Fires which resulted in substantial amounts of materials being diverted from the landfill and helped the City’s residents realize notable cost savings relating to disposing of debris from their damaged properties.
