I've been saving all of my used dry cell batteries for a while, hoping to find some place to recycle them. Some electronic stores, like Radio Shack and Best Buy, used to accept them for recycling, but now these stores only accept rechargeable batteries. After looking around for a while, I found Battery Solutions, Inc. (http://www.batteryrecycling.com/). For $0.85 per pound plus shipping charges, you can send all of your dry cell batteries to Battery Solutions for recycling. Not too shabby.
I know, I know, I should be using rechargeable batteries and I was for a while, but they didn't work out very well. It seemed after a couple of recharges, they really didn't hold their charge that well. Nothing like having a screaming kid with a toy that ran out of juice AGAIN! So, I switched back to dry cell. It's so expensive to change to rechargeable batteries, so I really want to research all of the different options before I try them again.
Take Care,
Kara
