Batteries Need Recycling Love, Too

Did you know you should recycle your batteries? Like, all of them? Car batteries, notebook batteries, cell phone batteries, those AA batteries in the TV remote, should all be recycled and not placed curbside for a trip to the landfill. The main drop-off point for battery recycling in the Margate area is at BatteriesPlus, a nationwide chain that serves all your battery needs. So, drop off your spent batteries and pick up alkaline, rechargeable, and even lithium ion. You’ll be saving the environment and getting your DVD remote to work all in one stop. I’d say that’s a great deal.
