> A dedicated bin in front of my house for it? No. I think all supermarkets here have them these days; anyone who sells batteries is required to provide battery recycling facilities, as far as I know. Also, bizarrely, my _office_ has them, despite not using anything that I can think of that uses disposable batteries at all. If you’re using a (presumably plastic?) sharps container, you should be very careful that they’re wrapped in something first; otherwise they are a potential fire hazard. > For plastic trash, it isn’t recyclable Most plastic is recyclable these days. Now, whether it gets recycled or not is another question, and will depend on local law and facilities, but it’s mostly recyclable.
