Disposing of nickel-cadmium batteries

Nickel-cadmium batteries contain chemically active materials
that are hazardous to the environment; therefore, they should
be disposed of properly. Never attempt to incinerate a
nickel-cadmium battery; doing so could cause it to explode.
Telxon urges you to contact the Environmental Protection
Agency, the Department of Natural Resources, a local
hazardous waste disposal agency, or the Telxon Customer
Support Center for assistance prior to disposing of your
nickel-cadmium batteries.
