Hi,
I have several (3-5) Nickel-Cadmium Batteries that do not hold a charge anymore. Where in CT can I bring these batteries to be dissposed of properly?
Thank you very much,

Better yet! see if your local "Batteries Plus" or whatever battery store is up in CT. will take them..Its a EPA thing now, where they fall under hazardous waste!

In some areas the local FD HazMat unit will accept used batteries for disposal.

All our batteries are recycled by INMETCO.
We are one of INMETCO/RBRC's recycle points.
They provide the container and the shipping by UPS to Pens.
This is who Motorola Uses.
Call RBRC at 800 822-8837
or visit

Also some Radio Shack stores have drop off
for used batteries.
