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.

Do what I do -- chuck them into the regular trash. Fuck this recycling bullshit. It's all a scam anyway. It cost more to recycle than it does to just bury or burn the garbage, and almost certainly has more of a negative impact on the environment. Everything we've told in the media about recycling is a lie, just like everything else we're told in the media.

  1. Open a search engine.
  2. Type "battery recycling (insert your city name here)"

I came up with hits, yes, but most of what's around me seems to be places that deal in commercial quantities. I'm looking for something like "Yeah, The Homeless Despot or Worst Buy still takes them" before I trundle off to a store I don't want to be in only to find out they don't take them anymore.

I know that's petty but it's amusing to me.

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.

Go to those stores websites. Find the phone number for your locality. Call them.

Downrange. Fuck it, it's already contaminated with lead.

Every Best Buy I've been to has bins right inside the door.

It's been years since I've been in one, maybe I'll give them a call.

They won't let you in without a face diaper so just drive up to the entrance and throw them at the COVID faggot who is guarding the door. They'll figure it out.

Your local big brand store will offer a 'free' battery recycling service. In a box

Your kitchen is a good place.

Carefully smash them apart. Unravel the inside thing. Peel the copper sheet away from the silvery lithium sheet. Wipe off the carbon dust. Throw away everything else.

Lithium is cool. You might be able to do some pyro shit with it. Don't get it wet. Store in an airtight container on a low humid day.

You can make a homemade battery with the copper sheet. By sandwiching an identical shaped piece of household aluminum foil. Then get some activated charcoal from you fishtank filter, or get any type of carbon/charcoal, then crush it into a powder. You won't use more than half a teaspoon of carbon. Spread your homemade carbon dust inside a homemade paper towel envelope. Then saturate the carbon "meat layer" of your sandwich with tweaker piss. It's got electrolytes that plants crave.

There ya go, a 1.2v battery cell. Make some more cells wired in series and keep trying to find the best tweaker piss

Hi Mr. Bird. I can't figure out a way to send you a private msg on here. I have an inbox but no compose button.

Wanted to ask you a favor regarding one of your interests.

I'll be in touch unless u do first.

Bury them in your garden... They're excellent fertilizer.
