                                                  Tips for Recycling 
                                                    Household Batteries 
                                                  
                                                  In the recent EH&S safety survey, it was suggested that Berkeley Lab collect household batteries for recycling. Berkeley Lab cannot use government funds to pay for managing waste other than that generated by the Lab. Do not place household batteries in the Lab battery recycling containers. Instead, recycling centers are located at local businesses such as Radio Shack, Kragen Auto Parts, Best Buy and Ace Hardware. These locations accept household batteries for free. Batteries (and other hazardous wastes such as paint, solvents, etc.) can also be taken to county household hazardous waste collection areas for free. Go here for a listing of used battery collection locations.

                                          The biographies of such scientific luminaries as Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell, as well as Berkeley Lab’s own Glenn Seaborg and Emilio Segre, are now available online, thanks to a project by the National Academy of Sciences. Published since 1877, these brief biographies of deceased members, written by those who knew them or their work, provide a personal and scholarly view of the lives and work of America's most distinguished scientists. Over the next several months, the collection of memoirs published prior to 1995 will be available online as PDFs. Memoirs published since 1995 have already been available online.
