What's wrong with disposing of batteries in a recycling center after
collecting them for a time?
The world's not polluted enough?
It's too much trouble? Poor you...
I can understand the poor and ignorant of the world not giving a shit while
they pour their used motor oil down the sewer into the rivers and ocean, but
I'm surprised to learn that a little trip to the recycling center to dispose
of batteries and old reeds with a small fee would cause such dismay among
the illuminati...(tip from Heloise.... Store your recyclables (unused
prescription drugs, metronome batteries, etc., in a cute, little box next to
your garbage can. Once a year or two, take a ride to your recycling center
and drop them off. There may not be a charge, and if there is, stop
whining.) You did a little bit for Mother Earth, and it'll make you a
better person, if not "musician".)

Hide them in something else. No-one will be any the wiser!

One more reason to be wistful.... my town has recently passed a law
against disposing of *all* batteries in the trash (not just rechargeable
& lead-acid batteries).
Now we are required to accumulate them and to deliver them personally to
a hazardous disposal site (rather than having a separate garbage can
which the trash company will accept). And the site for batteries is in
a different part of town from the site where we must deliver all
electronics except for TV and computer monitors, which is in a different
part of town from the site where we must deliver paint & motor oil ....
etc. There are fees at each site (except one) of course.
Since portable appliance batteries (D, C, AA, 9-volt, hearing aid, etc)
are small, the battery law is probably impossible for them to enforce,
but it's the law....
