There is much ado about recycling and its benefits or non-benefits, but one item that must be recycled are your batteries! There is no excuse for just trashing them now that both Whole Foods and Ikea accept old batteries to be recycled! Or you can simply go online at http://earth911.com find other recycling outlets for your batteries, old paint cans, and other miscellaneous household items you want to responsibly dispose of.
Why should you recycle your batteries? The answer? Because you should not put ANYTHING in your garbage that you wouldn't want to ingest or breathe. Batteries contain heavy metals and corrosive acids that pollute the air, soil and water. Recycling batteries will lead to a healthier and happier Earth! What a DEAL for future generations!
