We've gone through countless batteries over the Christmas holidays because my son seems to have every game ever invented which requires them. What is the best way of disposing of them?

Call your local recycling facility. They need to be disposed of separate of other recyclables.
Batteries are a unique product comprised of heavy metals and other elements that make things “portable”. These elements threaten our environment if not disposed of properly. Learn about the different batteries on the market and the importance of recycling batteries.

Why not buy a rechargeable system? Initially an outlay, but brilliant. No more running out...
Dispose as you wish. At the tip is best.

Normally at your local supermarket their should be a bucket or box to put them in,if not ask your local council where to leave them.
Do not just put them in the bin

Save them up.......then when one of your neighbours starts to build a bonfire in their back garden hide them in there......such bloody good fun when you are indoors.....hearing them go off....knowing what you`ve done.....also used this as pay-back for the local kids on bon-fire night......

Contact your local council, or if you have a Pcworld store local to you, you can take them there.

throw them in the garbage can
there is no need to be a tree hugging hippie
if you wanna have some fun with them, throw them in a fire and watch them explode :D
just do it outside because the fumes are probably toxic
