CVS was taking them here but not sure if they're still doing it today. - Marquis de Krusty Jul 9, 08:58
I admit I'm a bad person I throw my batteries away. I should get a box and keep them until the box is full and then recycle them. - sycor Jul 9, 08:38
My county has a hazmat collection day once a week. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 08:36 6
- once a *week*?!? I thin ours are so sporadic, like once every 6 months. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 9, 08:38 5
  - Hmmm, I have to look it up now. They don't pick up, you have to drop off. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 08:38 4
    - Huh, you can apparently drop off every day at the main facility, but you can drop off batteries at certain fire stations. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 08:41 1
      - It's been a while since I looked, but I've seen plastic containers for batteries (like dog park receptacles), outside stations, you don't even go in -- nm - Max Jul 9, 08:53
    - And I take back my statement. Apparently both counties here you can drop off any normal weekday. - JaxSean Jul 9, 08:40 1
      - Yeah, I have not done it in a while. It's where I drop off painting materials. The pigments are toxic. -- nm* - loosilu Jul 9, 08:41
Staples? -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 08:35
lowes or home depot are my usual go-tos for batteries and CFLs -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jul 9, 08:35 2
- i'll have to peek in and see. i also contacted the county, they have no info on batteries specifically. -- nm - colin Jul 9, 08:45 1
  - The two local Lowe's keep their recycle areas by the returns desk, if that helps -- nm - TWuG Jul 9, 08:48
