Recycling Non-rechargeable Batteries

Not a Problem!

Doesn't it feel strange, holding a handful of heavy batteries and then casually tossing them in the trash? Throwing away non-rechargeable batteries is not illegal, but when in a landfill, most batteries begin to leak, causing lead contamination to our groundwater.

Recycling these batteries is not a difficult task in the least, and it is helps the environment out a lot. All you have to do is mosey on over to the nearest Staples, RadioShack, or Best Buy (find the location nearest you here), and ask them if they can recycle your non-rechargeable batteries. Yup, it's that easy! All this commotion over how to get rid of these useless burdens is really unneeded, seeing as it is so simple and easy.
