Where to Recycle Single-Use Batteries

I was cleaning out my kitchen drawer today when I came across a few single-use batteries. I can't remember the last time I used a device that required a single-use battery. My camera, cell phone, I-pod, etc., all have rechargeable batteries. I didn't know what to do with these, so I went to my favorite recycling site: http://earth911.com/ and searched for battery recycling in my area. Turns out, there are lots of places to recycle batteries. If you have a few you don't know what to do with, please don't throw them away...look up battery recycling in your area.

I purchased a battery tester, about $12 at Radio Shack. It helps to know whether they still have some life before you even have to recycle them. You can also take batteries to Whole Foods; they have a receptacle in the store. Thanks for the tips!
