I ran across an article today on Earthtimes.org that said the US would be recycling all batteries in a volunteer program as of Spring 2013.
I was shocked. I had no idea that most people weren’t already recycling all their batteries whether they be disposable or rechargeable. In our house we have a special shelf for recyclables that can’t go into our ordinary bluebox like batteries (we have a small buckets to save them in) lightbulbs, electronics, or things like old paint.
