What do people in your country do with these when they're dead? You're not supposed to throw them away, you know.
not my problem
>>214562046Oh? >>214562059Honestly this
>>214562046Burn them
I dump them in rivers
>>214562059>>214562096>>214562150>>214562196Nooo that's all terrible
thread hidden for rage bait
>>214562046i take them with me when i go grocery shopping, most big chains have free drop off for batteries and light bulbs
Don't know, I don't talk to plebs who haven't seen the light
>>214562443Those are a hassle
>>214562046You're supposed to take them to a recycling plant I think. They should just have boxes outside in the streets for people to dump old electronics
>>214562046i just throw them in the nearest river
>>214562046There's specific bins to throw them in
>>214563341How are rechargeable batteries a hassle?
>>214563820You have to recharge them
>>214562046you can throw away regular alkaline batteries in the trashim pretty sure :D
>>214564167Really? What about zinc batteries?
>>214564280looks like those are fine too, but if you want, you can double check your local city procedures >https://www.epa.gov/recycle/used-household-batteries>In most communities, alkaline and zinc carbon batteries can be safely put in your household trash.please don't throw them in the oceans anons! i like fishies, we are friends and i think they are neat
>>214562046trash, but i made it a thing to not buy stuff thats not rechargeable or 18650/26650 and i have a stockpile or rechargeable standard batteries for the shit that isnt. its not just savings, but a rechargeable standard last about 3x longer.
>>214564135You have to recharge your phone too
>>214563341they aint>remote needs two batteries>you either curse and do the chore of driving to the store to buy new ones when they go flat>or pic two of the fully recharged ones in your drawerwhats the biggest chore here?
>>214562046There are recycling bins for batteries.
>>214563341?buying is more cumbersome than just charging
i imagine that the reason why many countries collect these batteries and don't just throw them away is not only to recover resources, but also to prevent dangerous substances such as the cadmium containing batteries that once existed from leaking into the environment.
>>214562046>You're not supposed to throw them away, you knowEvery garbage room and recycling station have a battery bin here in Sweden. Even my shitty commieblock has one, can even fit e-bike batteries and shit.
>>214565203yeah, it's called the ocean
