[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1278984, member: 24098"] Not sure about Ireland, but many electronics retailers here in the US offer free battery recycling. If you have any major electronics stores around, I would give them a ring and ask about it. In many cases, the cells themselves are disposed of, but the casing is kept and upgraded with new cells, then sold as a "refurbished" battery. Anything is better than having them go into a landfill. Batteries have some really toxic substances in them. [/QUOTE]
