recycle your rechargeable batteries!

[rone]

There's bound to be a place near you that'll take `em.  I got a ton of hits on my ZIP code.  Keep nasty cadmium out of the landfill!

They may take 'em, but

does anybody identify places that actually recycle them?

The Ulster County Recycling Center collected batteries in big barrels for about 10 years until finally giving up on ever finding a buyer for them, and dumped 'em all in the landfill a few years ago. If the greenies of fucking Woodstock couldn't find a place to recycle them, who can?

Thank you, Mr. Wet Blanket.

FWIW

my question is serious, not rhetorical. I don't want 'em in my landfill either! If there's a list of contacts for actual battery recycling out there anywhere, I'd love to be able to direct the New Paltz and Saugerties recycling people to it.

Yeah, it's just more research i'd have to do. I would be somewhat surprised if all the places around here didn't actually hand off to a real recycling joint, this being California and all.
