Way to step up to the plate guy's. The city is now taking batteries. We have always had a hard time finding places to deal with this and now this will make it they way it should be, easy! GOOD JOB!

Thank you!!!!!! This will make it soooo convenient to drop off the batteries. My collection has taken over the laundry room counter over the past 2 years as I procrastinated getting info on where I could take them. Excellent idea! Mine will be dropped off by the end of the day tomorrow!

That's great news. Are they going to also collect used CFL bulbs? I went to OSH the other day, they only take the long tube version, not the compact one.

Hi Matt, in response to your question, Joanne Hall, who is the spokeswoman for the city of Pleasanton told me: "we are exploring having an ongoing recycling program for CFL bulbs, but expect that they will be included in our E-Waste Weekend held at the Fairgrounds April 16-18, 2009. We included them last year and many, many CFL bulbs and lights came through."
