RadioShack Recycles

You know that you’re not supposed to throw old batteries and cellphones into the trash, right?  But you don’t want them lying around the house, either.  So what should you do?  Take them to RadioShack! 
The Shack accepts many types of rechargeable batteries for recycling (sorry, no alkaline, lithium non-rechargeable or wet-cell batteries.)  And they accept any and all wireless phones for recycling – regardless of their condition and with or without their chargers. 
For more information, please visit http://www.radioshackcorporation.com/citizenship/battery.php.  And be sure to visit our local Radio Shack store at 6029 Florin Road, Suite 100, in Florin Towne Centre.
