You didn't ask whether or not they were considered environmentally friendly by a corporate watchdog group, you asked for the name of a company that recycled NiMH batteries.

So what your saying is you "believe them" when the "say" they recycle them? Do we know where this recycling facility is? I put that up there because Toyota says a lot of things and there are time they don't have systems in place. I'm not a coprate watchdog group I was in the battery business though. For most of the non lead acid battery types there is not too much recycling in the US, NiCad's are the worst. For the others there is a lot of stock piling till plants get geared up to recycle them. There isn't a lot out there, and with US regulations is very hard and expensive to set a plant up in the US. I'm sure before Toyota put the Hybrids on the market they had to say they would recycle the batteries otherwise the US would never let them sell. But there isn't much in this country.
