What do you do with your used photo lithium batteries?

Some environment sites allege that non-rechargeable photo lithium
batteries are toxic. What do you do with them?

This depends upon where you live. In the US these generally go into
the regular trash unless your locality has a specific ordinance like
New York. Only mercury, nickel-cadmium, and lead-acid batteries are
federally controlled. Canada requires lithium recycling (among
others). Check with your trash company or local government
environmental office if you want to be sure.

The next town over has a once monthly chemical recovery day program and
cooperate with my town. I just give everything to a friend who finds reason to
go there almost every month.

I can't part with an old mercury bulb thermostat. Doesn't need batteries and
you never know when the electonic one will die unexpectedly.

Cheers,
Alan
