So I can't throw away the used-up batteries from my toys without feeling really guilty, but I there isn't much of a recycling program around where I live. I end up keeping them in a jar...hoping to get rid of them. Just not sure how! So what do you guys do with your batteries? Is there some sort of recycling program, or somewhere I can send them?

We converted to re-chargeable about a year ago. Makes us feel much better, and have reached the point where we are actually saving money.

I love rechargeable batteries. I highly recommend getting some.
I'm sure there's some sort of mailing program for batteries that you could find on the internet.

did you call your garbage company to see if they had a recycle program for used up batteries?

There are companies who will collect and properly dispose of batteries. You can contact these companies through the yellow pages, but often local colleges will have collection days where you can take batteries and other electronics waste. Don't throw them away!

All my AAs and AAAs are rechargeable. I hold on to the smaller batteries until there's enough of them to make it worth the trip to the recycling center.

I am sure there is a place you can send them, but the best way to do things is that you can get machines that will actually recharge non rechargeable batteries. My grandfather used to have one, it was pretty awesome.

A simple tip if nothing else helps...

Have a friend who lives at an area where they can throw them away safe...
Send the stuff to her/him...
Guess it wouldn't cost a lot, and if yer friend is growly about it then you'll be next to do a favor!

I have the same problem actually. Often I leave the dead ones just lying around, which doesn't solve the problem either, unfortunately.

Honestly, we just end up throwing ours away in the garbage. We really should look into a recycling program though. We used to throw out a lot before we switched over to rechargeable batteries. Her two older kids go through them like water!
