I've just done a round of upgrades on phones and now have a handful of batteries to dispose of. Does anyone still take these things as recycling? It's been so long since I've been to a big-box store, I really have no idea these days.

My IKEA accepts old batteries and lightbulbs. Check them out if one is near you. My municipal dump has several locations were you can drop off recyclable items that are too big for the wheelie bin, or chemicals or batteries. Call your city dump and see if they have a battery recycling program, if not, if they can point you in the right direction.

Call the city's waste handling. I didn't think of that. I'll do that Monday.

I think there's one of those, but it's about 30 miles away. I seem to remember that it made a big stink when it opened, they were expecting thousands of people, shut down streets and offices around it, cops everywhere - but it was just a ho-hum thing.
