Any idea where, how, or if you can recycle rechargable batteries that no longer hold a charge? 2 answers

   The chemicals in all batteries are such that they should be disposed of at proper recycling depots (eg the ones run by Dublin City Council), and not just put in the bin. There's some good info here about the various kinds of rechargeables:

   Beir Bua, that is a very helpful article, thanks!

   Wannabee, great question!
   I just assummed you give them away where the other batteries are collected...? (in stores where you buy new ones-? at least you can ask there if they collect old ones-? or where you could put them for recycling.. It's good to know where the proper recycling spots are, yeah..)
