Recycling Batteries

Old car batteries contain nasty chemicals that can be hazardous to your health. They should not be thrown away, and there's no need to. The easiest (why take it home with you) way to recycle a battery is to trade it in when you get a new one. Since carrying auto batteries around is a pretty heavy duty job, this is the best way. If this method doesn't work out for you, for some reason (most people don't buy new batteries until the old ones quit), get your yellow pages. Find "Battery Repairing and Rebuilding" and sell it to someone listed there.
