Cities have totally fallen down on the job of disposing of hazardous waste. We store all of ours for the once a year collection in another city 50 miles away. Why can't I store my hazardous waste at a dump for a nominal fee instead of in a residential neighborhood for no reason while I wait for a collection day? We also need to mandate that Amazon and other retailers that sell these batteries operate collection points or provide shipping to return the dead batteries no questions asked. It's insane that these companies can dump hazardous waste on us without helping dispose of it later. Maybe a fee that is charged at purchase that is used to pay for disposal later?
