We have a bunch of old batteries sitting around in a bag, mainly because I
have no idea what to do with them. At long last, I’ve done some research
into the matter and discovered a few things. First of all, Ottawa only has
places that recycle rechareable batteries (with the exception of MEC and
Ikea, which take back batteries purchased from their stores). However,
according to
this useful article, non-rechargeable (A, AA, etc.) batteries that
were manufactured after 1997 are low toxicity, and can be thrown in the
garbage.
