Town of Concord
Vanderhoof Hardware provides the following services for the residents of Concord:
Fluorescent Light Bulb Recycling
Silver oxide batteries
- Used most frequently in watches, toys, and some medical devices
- Silver oxide batteries contain a small amount of mercury.
- Most jurisdictions regulate their handling and disposal to reduce the discharge of mercury into the environment.
- Silver oxide batteries can be recycled to recover the mercury.
Lithium ion batteries
- Lithium-ion batteries and lithium iron phosphate batteries often contain, among other useful metals, high-grade copper and aluminum in addition to, depending on the active material, transition metals cobalt and nickel, as well as rare earth metals.
- To prevent a future shortage of cobalt, nickel, and lithium and to enable a sustainable life cycle of these technologies, recycling processes for lithium batteries are needed. These processes have to regain not only cobalt, nickel, copper, and aluminum from spent battery cells, but also a significant share of lithium.
- Other potentially valuable and recoverable materials are graphite and manganese. Recycling processes today recover approximately 25% to 96% of the materials of a lithium-ion battery cell.
