I feel like there's not enough easily accessible information in the wild about what you're supposed to do with old electronics, and especially batteries. You're not supposed to throw any type of battery in the trash, let alone ones that get really angry when abused. And places that used to take old batteries seem to be refusing them now. I have a small box of old batteries I've been looking to dispose of and I'm running out of places to try and give them to.

It especially doesn't help that electronics, including with non-replaceable batteries, including those that get angry when abused, are being designed to be disposable to begin with.

And yeah, I know there's a high level of apathy about the problem with the masses. Even though the information can be, for the most part, found, people just don't care enough.
