Hi Cynette - I wrote that article but followed up later with another that indicates
we should recycle alkaline batteries. I still get comments and emails from both points of view. It is an issue that has yet to be definitively settled.
If alkaline batteries are to be recycled, you are correct that I have yet to find a company that will take them free of charge. If anyone here does find one, please post the company both here and on my post so we can publicize them as widely as possible.
