In our line of work we routinely suggest that people keep extra batteries on hand in case of power outage, etc. What we neglect to tell people is the proper way to dispose of those old, crusty batteries that no longer work. Did you know that throwing away those dead AA's can seriously harm the environment? Click here for a very informative website about proper battery disposal. Click here for the local Waste Control website with information on exactly where to take your batteries. Click here because I said so.

A good way to store the unused/old batteries is to use a plastic coffee can (folgers "can"). Was checking out the local Waste Control website and it tells you to put electical tape over the ends of the 9-volt batteries so they don't cause a fire.
