    Yeah you don’t need to over pay on batteries to recycle them just take them to your local recycling center… GREENWASH

        I’m in PEI and most grocery stores have a battery recycle bin.

        We don’t use many non-recharge batteries, but we drop whatever dies in the bin.

        More of an education problem. Which won’t really be fixed by this… Right like I don’t know anyone who is going to pay extra for these batteries for something they already don’t care about.

        Depends on where you live… Like in Mississauga this is a non-starter due to local programs. I think it has a better chance of targeting rich Americans that don’t have these local recycling programs and are more susceptible to paying to greenwash.

        Our apartment building has a bucket in the lobby for old batteries. Those go to the recycling place every year or whenever anyone is going that way.
