Chicagoans now have an easy way to recycle their batteries, with the launch over the weekend of the City of Chicago's new permanent battery recycling program. People can recycle their batteries at all Chicago public libraries and Walgreens stores. By recycling batteries, residents can keep these materials out of the waste stream and reclaim them for reuse. Officials say 3 billion batteries are thrown away every year, creating a very real concern for society and the environment. Residents can deposit batteries, either alkaline, rechargeable or other common types, in a receptacle at one of the designated locations. The batteries are shipped to Battery Solutions Inc., a national battery recycler, which will recycle them. Funding is provided in part by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.
