CAUTION
Do not incinerate batteries.
The nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries contain no lead, lithium, or
cadmium and can be recycled. The U.S. EPA has not provided any specific
regulations or guidelines for the waste management of sealed nickel-metal
hydride cells or batteries. As a result, a number of states and local governments
have passed or are considering legislation which may require special
procedures for the disposal of these batteries. Thus, state and local agencies
should be contacted for their waste management guidelines. Internationally,
procedures for waste management may vary from country to country.
In the absence of regulations or guidelines, the following is recommended for
recycling and disposing of used nickel-metal hydride batteries:
 Recycling:
GE Medical Systems Information Technologies encourages the recycling of
nickel-metal hydride batteries. As recycling programs are implemented for
nickel-metal hydride batteries, your GE Medical Systems Information
Technologies representative will be informed of such programs and will have
further information.
 Disposal:
Individual batteries can be disposed of with other household wastes. When
10 or more batteries are accumulated, the commercial user may want to
consider disposing the batteries in a secure waste landfill. Since these
batteries are not classified as a "hazardous waste," they can be shipped to
the secure waste facility as "nonhazardous waste."
Local regulations, which specify other methods for the disposal of nickel-metal
hydride batteries, supersede these recommendations. Waste management
companies can provide assistance for the disposal of these batteries. As
