Battery Recycling

Our responsibility to the environment is just as important as all of the other aspects of our business, and we firmly support battery recycling. Fedco Batteries is a licensee of the Call2Recycle program of The Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC).

RBRC was founded 1994 by the major battery manufacturers and other interested companies for the sole purpose of developing and administering a national collection program for recycling Nickel-Cadmium batteries. This was necessary at the time because it was apparent that each of our 50 states was in the process of developing their own collection program to keep the cadmium containing batteries out of sanitary landfills.
