    Is there any place in Dublin city that takes spent batteries (just AAs) for safe disposal?

    When I attended college in the States there was a box for batteries on the campus. Used to bring 'em there. Ever since, I feel guilty throwing the things in the bin.

    I use rechargeables myself, economic and good for the environment.

    I take my rubbish to be recycled at the Corporation Depot up near DCU and as far as I know there is a barrel or drum of some sort that you can throw your spent batteries into.

    Again as I use rechargables I can't be 100% on this as I haven't had occasion to look, but I'm pretty sure that there are facilities for disposal of AA batteries there.

    In fact at any such recycling centre run by Dublin Corporation there will most likely be facilites for such disposal as well as recycling paper, plastic, glass and some other recyclables, so no one has an excuse not to bring their household waste to be recycled.

    I should have said I don't have a car.

    You are right about the rechargeables. I'll have to invest in a set.
