This is once again an example of if you make it easy for people to do the right thing they will do it.
Many places you have to bring a battery or a device to a recycling center. We have to do that in Tampa. Any computers, or other type stuff you are supposed to bring to the collection center. Batteries too. Of course, most people don't do it. They just hide the stuff in their normal trash collection.
Just recently they allowed us to start putting rechargeable batteries that were used up into our recycle bins for normal collection. I have heard many people say how excellent this was.
