Got an old rechargeable battery and don't know what to do with it? Don't throw it away, it's toxic! Send it to us and we will recycle it for you, for free.

Kokopelli Music is delighted to be part of a worldwide battery recycling program organized by the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC), a non-profit, public service organization created to promote the recycling of portable rechargeable batteries and cellular phones.

We will accept any rechargeable battery, regardless of where you got it, and recycle it for you. We ship all our old batteries to RBRC, where they use a thermal recovery process to reclaim the metals (nickel, iron, cadmium, lead, and cobalt) from the batteries and prepare them for use in new products such as new batteries and stainless steel.

What batteries we accept: If it’s rechargeable, it’s recyclable! The following rechargeable battery chemistries can be recycled - Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd), Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH), Lithium Ion (Li-ion), and Small Sealed Lead (Pb). Rechargeable batteries are commonly found in portable media players like iPods, as well as cordless power tools, cellular and cordless phones, laptop computers, digital cameras, two-way radios, camcorders, and remote control toys. Look for the Battery Recycling Seals on the battery. Please do not send us alkaline or non-rechargeable batteries, as they are not recyclable.

Here's how to participate in our recycling program:

1. Put your old battery in a plastic bag, or wrap the contacts with electrical tape, and place it in an ordinary envelope.

2. If you like, include a few coins or a dollar to help us defray the costs of this program.

3. Put postage on it.

4. Mail to
