The battery recycling service is specifically designed to collect all forms of batteries used in a healthcare setting. This includes batteries used in equipment such as pacemakers, defibrillators, fetal monitors, heart monitors, pagers, telemetry devices, temperature alarms and blood analyzers, pumps, diagnostic equipment, otoscopes, ophthalmoscopes, dictation machines, pen lights, glucometers, flashlights, and telemetry devices. Batteries are also used in portable generators, wheelchairs, lighting, and a myriad of electronic devices.

As batteries contain heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, and nickel, proper disposal is essential to avoid harm to human health and the environment. Recycling of batteries should lower the number of batteries being disposed as municipal solid waste and therefore less landfill.
