I know that we shouldn't just throw then together with the trash, and that some places like Lowe's will take batteries for recycling but not the common AA, AAA, 9V, etc batteries, so who takes them?

Places like Radio Shack & Wal-Mart will take the batteries & recycle them for you.
DO NOT throw them in the trash, please.

Hi, I just called Interstate Battery because I know that they recycle batteries and the answer that they gave me was this..."We recycle any rechargeable battery but regular alkaline batteries no longer contain mercury in them so they no longer need to be recycled." In other words the regular household batteries that you are talking about do not contain mercury in them any longer and therefore no longer need to be recycled, I guess.

In Orange County the place to take batteries and anything else that can contaminate, i.e. old tvs, computers, is the Disposal Center on La Palma, in Anaheim near the i/s with the 5 freeway.

I take my used household batteries, AA, AAA, D,C, etc. to 'The Source' on Sequin St. in Parry Sound. They will accept them for safe disposal. A great service that few people know about, so please pass along.

Lots of cities have places to take unwanted and waste items for disposal. They have various areas for various types of things so that the items can be more effectively recycled.

I know that IKEA stores recycle batteries so get on the web to find out one closest to you. They are swedish furniture stores who are huge greenies. Cheers

Contact your local Solid Waste Services and they will be able to tell you where to bring them for recycling.
