I bury the spent batteries, much to the consternation of OB, who in an 
earlier Zip debate insisted batteries are perfectly safe to place in trash 
containers with all the other trash, and should be placed there. OB is probably right, 
of course. But my instincts tell me burial is better than burning chemicals in 
an incinerator, which is where most trash ends up.

         I called our local waste disposal line and they said any new 
batteries are disposable in the trash. They no longer have the heavy metals they once 
had.

         They said rechargeables still do, so dispose of them in specially 
marked bags at your recycling pick-up.
