Disposal of household batteries / watch / hearing aid / cellphone / laptop
I have not heard or read of a consistent place where used / dead AA , AAA, C and D size or other household batteries are collected for disposal other than throwing them in the land fill bin? Is this the only option or are there better solutions? I observed in Barcelona a drop off point (i.e. hole in a shop window) where such smaller items were deposited. As batteries are becoming even more importantly strategic for lower carbon footprints ( is that so?) what are the best means of disposal for the long term?
Also, I have had to buy x number of electric drills over two decades because the batteries have died? Surely we should be in an age of repowering such items than increasing consumerism associated with a throwaway society. Has anyone constructive ideas please.
