At Worst Buy

I was at Worst Buy, the other day, and they had these receptacles in the front that you could recycle things in. One sign said cell phones, but the one that I paid attention to said, “Rechargable Batteries.” I wonder what they would do if I, and others, put non-rechargable  batteries in there with the rechargable ones. Would they pollute the earth with those batteries, or find a peaceful solution where they would dispose of all of the batters in a timely, and safe, manner. What do you do with your batteries. Dead batteris are a pain in the ass, and so too were The Dead Kennedys.
