In my country every supermarket has a recycling box where you can drop batteries, light bulbs and old small electronics (think hair dryers or keyboards). I believe this comes from an EU regulation that when electronics reach end-of-life you can give them back to the store that sold them. I'd love to see the financials of this service, as I assume sometimes people dump things that are working they just don't need. I guess the store also pays the company something so they don't need to deal with recycling themselves. And I guess they just put everything in a shipping container and send it to China.
