Today, Home Depot stores in nearly every state offer this program to customers.Īt any designated drop-off location, customers can recycle all used portable rechargeable batteries – those batteries commonly found in traditional household items. Through the program, The Home Depot has helped recycle 10 million pounds of rechargeable batteries since the program inception, becoming the first Call2Recycle retail participant in the United States to achieve this milestone. But even rechargeable batteries don’t last forever, and as we adopt newer battery technologies the old ones need to be disposed of properly.Ĭall2Recycle ® is a nonprofit battery stewardship program that’s worked with The Home Depot since 2001 to offer in-store rechargeable battery collection. If you currently have, or wish to repurpose a non-blue container or cardboard box to use as a recycling container, it will be necessary for you to make sure your custodian(s) knows that container is for recyclables.The rechargeable battery is an amazing convenience that enables us to do more things with greater mobility and efficiency than ever, from cell phones to outdoor power equipment. For your convenience, this link lists several types of blue recycling containers offered at Office Depot. Although the size of the office recycling container can be adjusted to meet your need, it is important that the color of the recycling container be blue to reduce confusion with any future custodial staff changes. The Recycling Office is funded by RESIDENTIAL Solid Waste User Fees, so we are unable to purchase recycling containers for City offices.Ī typical wastebasket-sized (7 gallons) blue recycling container is available for under $10 at Office Depot, Home Depot, or Amazon. In fact, you may want to consider what several other offices are doing, which is placing recycling bins in each office/area and putting trash containers only in centralized or common areas. We have found that people are more likely to recycle when it is convenient, so departments are encouraged to place a blue recycling container next to each trash can, rather than only in centralized locations.
