Batteries. They're everywhere, powering everything from cameras to cars. But, where do most batteries end up after being used? The sad answer is, in a landfill—where it could take perhaps over 100 years for a single alkaline battery to decompose.

Over 3 billion batteries are sold every year in the US under numerous brand names. None of these batteries come with a free and convenient way to properly dispose of the used batteries. What's more, some companies charge consumers for doing the right thing - $16.95 in recycling fees every time they want to recycle.

PerfPower GoGreen batteries offer eco-conscious consumers the only free recycling alternative, a truly no cost and no headache recycling option.

There are a number of reasons why you should recycle your batteries:

• Mining of metals is expensive and adversely impacts our planet, polluting the environment and destroying wildlife.
• Metals used in batteries can be easily recovered—steel, zinc and other metals can be recycled over and over again —and this reduces the need to mine for metals.
• Metals used in batteries, when not properly disposed, end up contaminating water tables, turning them into waste-streams.
