I try to use rechargeable batteries whereever possible, but sometimes you still end up with batteries, strange how they turn up like that, anyway........I keep them in a box after they've stopped powering their product and then re-use by 'cascading' them down to lower usage products, and then after that I've always been stuck as to no where to recycle them.

I did find that our local recycling centre does take them now at last (still think our authroity is poor for recycling!), and this week I noticed that Waitrose in Portswood, Southampton have started collecting them by the tills, the tubs aren't noticeable which is a shame, but look out for them and report back here where you find them ;)

We use a lot of rechargeables too. Our local recycling centre takes used ones which is useful too. Just think, 15 years or so ago we recycled hardly anything compared to what is done now, so things are moving on a lot.
