Button Cell Recycling/Disposal

[nikon_sam]

Just thought I'd ask...
How do you Recycle/Dispose your old Button Cell Batteries...
I just took a few old cell phones (with spare batteries), some rechargeable Lead batteries (from Quantum +1 pack) and a bunch of old button cells to Radio Shack and the Manager took all the phone stuff and lead batteries but didn't take the button cells...
He said he would take all the Rechargeable batteries but not the regular batteries...
What do you guys do with yours...what best for all involved...???

Joe, The label clearly states not to do that...or was that before they deemed them non-edible...

i think it says not to eat them...i never chewed.

Great answer.

We used to be able to recycle batteries hereabouts, but had to take them to one particular place at certain times. We never made it, and had a paper lunch bag full of the things. Finally made it to the center and was told they no longer recycle them- they just go in the trash now.:bang:
