Having a wireless mouse/keyboard I go through double A's at the rate of about a dozen month myabe a little less. Two batteries in my mouse last about 3-5 days depending on use.
Being environmentally conscience I googled for how to recycle the massive collection of dry cells I have accumulated (thinking they are hazardous the the environment I didn't want to chuck em') and all I found was places that accept rechargables, etc...
If you want to dispose of dry cells, you need to actually "pay" to get rid of them...to the tune of about $25/12Lbs of batteries...
Not exaclty what call incentive to bother recycling. If anything I could be bothered to spend the effort to get rid of batteries if it was free, but to pay? I'm not that dedicated.
So I ask...why (or where) do all recycling places not accept dry cell batteries. Obviously because they are not reusable or much to gain from their innerds.
Why is it dry cell batteries are essentially "non-reusable" garbage??? Isn't there anything worth recycling to offer a company incentive to accept battereis for free?
