Many people buy rechargeable batteries to cut down on waste.
Thanks to recent actions by the Department Of Environmental Protection, it will be easier than ever to recycle hazardous wastes such as nickel-cadmium batteries beginning this summer. DEP recently took steps to simplify its rules to encourage hazardous waste recycling by providing incentives to companies to recycle their waste. You'll now be able to recycle your rechargeable batteries saving money and creating less waste for the environment. With another Pennsylvania Earth Minute, I'm Susan Rickens.
