disposing of old internal battery box mods/pccs

[Zealous]

I'm wondering if anyone knows the proper place to dispose of things like egos, box mods with internal batteries, pccs, etc. when they no longer work. I know you don't just throw them away in the garbage but I don't know where they should be disposed of.

Do you take them to a battery disposal place like you would for other old rechargeable batteries?

Thanks for the info.

Radio Shack used to accept old batteries, but I read somewhere they are going out of business. I'm sure there are other battery specialty stores that would accept them.

Edit: Staples will accept them.

Box mods like the MVP use LiPo chemistry batteries. Replaceable external batteries are Lithium (either Li-Ion or Li-Mn IMR).

Does Staples accept all the types? I haven't had to dispose of any of my AWs yet but I have a couple egos & an eroll pcc that I need to dispose of. So then the Staples battery disposal place will take all those?

edit: the eroll pcc is a LiPo too isn't it? are you saying they don't take those type?

You could also drop them off in the recycling bins just inside the entrances to Best Buy stores. The only lithium batteries they won't take is lithium button batteries. They also don't take lead acid batteries, alkaline batteries, any batteries weighing more than 11 pounds and car batteries.

I don't see why they would refuse any type of battery (Staples).

At the bottom of that link (where they discuss rechargeable battery recycling), it specifically says that alkaline and lithium batteries are not accepted.

Ok so I just found out Batteries Plus will take all the types I asked about in my OP. Guess I should have looked harder for an answer on Google before asking here lol.

anyway, thanks for the responses.

I just give a working one with an Evod or T3S on top to friends/acquaintances... y'know, to see if they want to try ecigs or not.

Never to be seen again.

"Disposed" of several that way.

Good to know. Considering what they charge for batteries, they can afford it.
