        If you return the tokens to RSA, the company will dispose of them
    in an environmentally safe manner.

        SecurIDs are lead-free, emit no radiation or electromechanical
    waves, and use a very low-voltage 3.3 volt lithium battery. Even when
    brand spanking new, a SecurID's power supply contains only .5 grams of
    lithium, and that amount is steadily diminished over the life-span of
    a token. Nonetheless, you are entirely correct that devices like this
    should not be casually trashed.

        Just ship the tokens back to RSA, marked "Attention: Expired Token
    Disposal."

    >From the Americas, ship them to:
    RSA Security

    Bedford, MA 01730 USA

    >From Europe, the Middle East, or Africa, ship them to:
    RSA Security Ireland
    Bay 127
    Shannon Free Zone
