I am one of those normal people and i have always taken my batteries to a place where they could be recycled..they're really aggressive with the earth, if thrown to the ground. You can just guess that by looking at them when they go bad, i'm even worried to touch those liquids they emit with bare hands so why to let them out

@being well good on ya Pfft ! , i don't know what else to say except ... you're not normal

@FurryFace it's easy where i live, in every electric store or similar they have a place to put them. I haven't reached as far as to make an actual research if those are recycled for real, it just feels better this way

@being i understand it clears your conscience in a way , you're doing your share in taking care of mother earth

@being I have read that a lot of stuff that is supposed to be recycled is not, they throw it in the trash truck and take it to the dump. Playing games with the people.

@cherokeepatti yeah just follow the money

@FurryFace worse than that. They have allowed China to buy cheaply the type of stuff that they have a demand for in order for China to get materials to manufacture more crap stuff to import here and displace our factory jobs. If the environment was the reason for recycling maybe stop importing so much crap from China. Those cargo ships are emitting more pollution that all the other vehicles on earth.
