Default So where do you dispose of the hazardous waste?

Sealed lead acid batteries.
Use up alkaline batteries.
Dead LI batteries.
NiCd batteries.
etc.

They don't go in the trash but they are piling up in the corner.

Any stores take them?

The only spot I know about around my area is 1/2 hour drive in nasty
traffic ... and they want us to dispose this stuff of properly. I'll bet
that most people put them in the trash but I am not willing to go there
(either place).




My local Tesco takes them.

Round here gas stations take lead-acid cells. They get paid a few bucks
for them by the recycler.
