What is the best way to dispose of dead batteries?

Is there a way to dispose of batteries without damaging the environment?

  • Answer:

    Compared to the many things that go into a landfill, a pile of AAA batteries is not going to make much difference one way or the other. If you want to salve your conscience, think of it as assisting the breakdown of more complex wastes. You could always learn how to recycle them safely yourself, and then advertise for used batteries. Try contacting EverReady, Burgess, Duracell, and Rayovac to see if they will accept them for recycle. They just might.

I would say the best thing to do is mail them back to the company who made them.
