What you can recycle: bluetooth sp eakers cell phones cordless vacuums electric shavers electric toothbrushes e-readers hair clippers hearing aids laptops & Chromebooks mixers/blender s power tool batteries robot vacuums security cameras smart watches tablet s TV remote controllers video game controllers wireless headpones wireless keyboards/mice and more . . . for more information on what you can recycl e\, please visit: What Can I Recycle? Please note: To recycle your devic e\, the item must contain a lithium-ion battery. It must not require a plu gged-in cord to operate. We only accept rechargeable items with lithium-io n batteries. Why should you recycle lithium-ion batteries? Keeps end-of-li fe lithium-ion batteries out of landfills Helps increase the security of a domestic supply chain for raw battery materials Supports domestic remanuf acturing of lithium-ion batteries Reduces the need to mine from the earth Why it matters As the world electrifies to combat climate change\, lithiu m-ion battery demand is projected to increase by 500 percent in the coming years. These batteries will be needed for new electric vehicles and clean energy products but additionally\, demand for rechargeable consumer devi ces is also increasing that source these same materials. Batteries are in nearly every consumer device\; from cell phones to laptops\, e-bikes to s cooters and electric toothbrushes to vacuum cleaners and power drills\, co nsumer demand for rechargeable batteries is skyrocketing. And\, as more el ectric vehicles hit our roads\, we’ll need more and more batteries. All lithium-ion batteries are made up of varying amounts of critical minerals like cobalt\, copper\, nickel\, and lithium. Whether a laptop or an electr ic vehicle\, lithium-ion batteries source the same elements on the periodi c table. What’s perhaps even more incredible is that these metals can b e recycled almost infinitely. Because metal atoms don’t degrade\, recycl ed lithium or nickel units perform the same as newly mined material – in fact\, sometimes even better! This creates a tremendous opportunity for recycling.   This program brings us one step closer to creating a domesti c\, circular supply chain for all end-of-life batteries and solving the en vironmental impacts of new products before they happen.   This project is in partnership with other Rotary Clubs and with Redwood Materials.

Why it matters

\n\n

As the world electrifies to combat climate change\, lithium-ion bat tery demand is projected to increase by 500 percent in the coming years. T hese batteries will be needed for new electric vehicles and clean energy p roducts but additionally\, \;demand for rechargeable consumer devices& nbsp\;is also increasing that source these same materials.

\n\n

Batte ries are in nearly every consumer device\; from cell phones to laptops\, e -bikes to scooters and electric toothbrushes to vacuum cleaners and power drills\, consumer demand for rechargeable batteries is skyrocketing. And\, as more electric vehicles hit our roads\, we&rsquo\;ll need more and more batteries.

\n\n

All lithium-ion batteries are made up of varying amo unts of critical minerals like cobalt\, copper\, nickel\, and lithium. Whe ther a laptop or an electric vehicle\, lithium-ion batteries source the sa me elements on the periodic table. What&rsquo\;s perhaps even more incredi ble is that these \;metals can be recycled almost infinitely. Because metal atoms don&rsquo\;t degrade\, recycled lithium or nickel units perfor m the same as newly mined material &ndash\; in fact\, sometimes even bette r! \;This creates a tremendous opportunity for recycling.  \;
