Disposing of nickel-cadmium batteries
Nickel-cadmium batteries contain chemically active
materials that are hazardous to the environment;
therefore, they must 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.
