Everyone should have the awareness about recycling. Besides, we still have to educate those younger generation.

I think you are correct, Paul. Still recycling them has to be easier than carefully repackaging them to make a special trip to Ikea. Especially since they last so long, even when they start to burn out you might have to replace 2 or 3 a year. Unfortunately I think most will end up in the household trash.

But we can try. I have started a small container to put our expended alkaline batteries in. My intent is to make a couple of trips a year to Walgreen’s hoping to find the Big Green Box. Still most households will take the easier route and toss them in the trash.

Ideally recycling these odd items would be easier. I think the best result will be had by making products that do either do not contain hazardous material that needs to be recycled, or by making the products that should be recycled financially valuable to increase motivation to recycle.

Hi Betty - As Bob mentioned, I think it is at least also in Canada and I know they are expanding. You can call the toll free number and ask about your country. I think I have asked before, but where are you located?

Is The Big Green Box service area only at USA?…If not, I think this kind of service must available in other countries.
