You're not supposed to put batteries in the bin. So what the fuck are you supposed to do with them, shove them up your arse and hope they find their way to Narnia? :ermm:

Why can't you put them in the bin.
Do they explode :unsure:
I do know that I put several in my pocket to deliver to the pretty girl in Superdrug (the one with the confused expression) and when I put my hand in my pocket to get them out a couple of them were so damned hot that I burned my hand. Batteries of different flavours jiggling together do strange things....apparently.Quote:

There's an unfeasibly high innuendo count in there but I just can't seem to crack one off.

Because the electrolyte solution is caustic in most batteries, hazardous waste disposal methods apply. It's typically potassium hydroxide (KOH) or sulfuric acid (H2SO4) depending on the battery.Quote:

So each battery disposed of in a bin might dissolve some organic matter deep within a landfill site.Quote:

The fear is that it could infiltrate the water table.
I had a water table once, everything I tried to put on it fell right through, it was completely useless.Quote:

Either the horse has bolted already or is the stay at home type and no mind need be paid.
You should see the mess my periodic table made.Quote:

Yeah I've lived with four up 'til now.
This current one is decent enough but fuck me, women are so messy. I thought they were all like my mam.
Can you imagine my surprise to discover the extent of their collective slovenly ways.
Blokes are far worse but I just thought that women would be, you know, tidier :ermm:
Buy her a salon voucher for her birthday ffs. Coming on here and announcing your missus has a council community garden between her legs strikes me as slightly ungallant.Quote:

I can vouch for that, though this will be the last freebie I offer.Quote:

I save them up in a box and squeeze them into the always-full battery recycling bucket at our local sainsbury's.
I'm doing my little bit for the Chinese so they inherit a non-fucked environment when they take over the planet in the years to come. Oh yes.
We recycle our plastic bags too. Also our glass, (even though it's perhaps the most abundantly readily-accessible material in the world....)
I have never seen an appropriate place to discard batteries in public, this is why I'm puzzled. But maybe that's because I don't shop in posh supermarkets :smilie4:
Lidls; for when you're too pikey for Asda.Quote:
