Episode description
This week’s personal finance tip is about Better Battery Co’s Recycling and Delivery Program.
Can you imagine how many batteries are in landfills considering every household uses them?
According to The California Department of Resources and Recycling, it is estimated that 4 billion disposable batteries are shipped to the US each year and that means the average US household uses an estimated 47 batteries per year.
Now this is a daunting piece of information; however, there is good news. You can now purchase batteries online while also disposing of them responsibly.
Better Battery Co. has developed household batteries that are not only rechargeable, but also recyclable. Their program is designed to ship you new supplies as you deem necessary while providing the packing and the return packing slip.
When it comes to your money, you’ll pay more for the batteries than you are accustomed to; however, they do come in a variety pack of sizes which is not how most batteries are sold and you don’t have to leave your house.
Moreover, when you hear the words “cost more,” consider that many people pay double the price just to get their food delivered to their doorstep.
The bottom line is that this battery product is an ongoing example of an innovative solution that is convenient and helps the environment. In time, this may be the norm rather than the exception.
