Battery Recycling

Baby equipment takes an army of batteries. We have all the used ones right now sitting around for recycling. I found a couple options for recycling. One great online tool was this site where you can plug in your zip code and get the nearest site:

And two retailers that seem to be participating in alkaline battery recycling programs are Walgreen's and IKEA. I think at Walgreen's you may have to ask what do with used batteries at the photo department and at IKEA the recycling bins are supposedly at the exit of the store.

We've been trying to get away from batteries altogether now that the swing is no longer a key tool in our baby arsenal. And sure enough they're pretty happy just pushing all the buttons without the sounds and lights. Hurrah!
