cell phone drop-off locations. Call2Recycle, Inc., operates the Call2Recycie c used battery recycling program. That program is
supported by the rechargeable battery industry to ensure the safe collection and recycling of certain types of rechargeable
batteries. Call2Recycle's collection system safely collects and recycles consumer rechargeable and primary batteries (as that
term is defined below), and after collection, are sent to corresponding facilities for further handling. The cost of these and
related activities are not paid by the rechargeable battery industry. Kittitas County Solid Waste is willing to subsidize the
limited expansion of the Call2Recycle· program to . handle primary consumer batteries collected at Kittitas County Solid

McKinney, Texas; INMETCO in Ellwood City, Pennsylvania; or Battery Solutions in Howell, Michigan for consolidation and
sorting. The materials are separated by type and recycled at various processing locations in North America. Call2Recycle,
Inc. may employ other sorting and/or processing facilities in the future as appropriate and at its sole discretion .

the collected cellphones are recycled in North America, and none of the reclaimed materials from the recycling process of
batteries and cell phones is sent to landfills (domestic or abroad).
Call2Recycle" is the first program of its kind to receive the Responsible Recycling Practices Standard (R2) certification for
the management of the collection and distribution of batteries and cell phones to downstream processors for recycling.

of batteries and cell phones.
