we've had a drawer full of batteries, electronics, laptops, cables, gas canisters, etc for years and finally we went to SAFE disposal event that the city put on. This one was at Prospect park and was on our calendar for half a year. They said normal modern alkaline batteries can just be thrown away in the garbage but that feels bad. We both left this event in whatever the opposite of awe is at the sight of all of our collective electronics, chemicals, paints, batteries, etc dropped off by those who have the means to even entertain such a thing. There were minivans and cars with huge tv's tied to the top. There were palettes full of tower computers, monitors. There were people throwing ipads and laptops into bins. It's amazing and sad to see what a parasite humanity is. I hate waste and throwing stuff away and adding to the pile. |
