Big Jim,

Not really strange to see topics from here pop up on OGR, because if you look on the "Member" list via the Index page, you will find many of the SAME ID's that post on OGR are members here. Why they choose NOT to participate here, I don't know. The club car gets a little testy sometimes, but generally the topics apart from those are fairly civil.

If you get on this board LATE at night, and observe the Index page, there are piles of "Guests" looking at this forum most every night. Someone must like the stuff discussed on here!

Does anyone know what the environmental impact is of hundred of thousand , maybe millions of batteries that have been produced. Where do these leaking and expired batteries go. To a landfill. Do people recycle them or just throw them in the trash ?

Someone probably does....

Regular batteries end up in the trash as far as I know so off to a landfill in all probability. Rechargeable ones can be dropped off at recycling points; no idea if folks actually do that. They can't be bothered to put their trash in trash cans, so expecting them to do recycling is probably unrealistic.

Here's an idea: Make the places that sell them have a recycling/disposal area. Now the ugly question: What does that entail/cost? I know automobile batteries have a bit of recycle value....don't know about dry cells....guessing not so much. Like nuclear waste. There ain't no free lunch.
