No more people have to think about it and do the right thing. Commerical facilities and home owners must be more conscious of what they are doing. Alkaline batteries also contain small amounts of mercury as well and add to the contamination going into landfills and incinerators.
Like lead battery disposal bulbs and alkaline batteries should also be handled in the same manner. By the way, I'm not a tree hugger. I hunt fish and like the woods. I also recently had my land logged, but in a safe manner and environmental manner.

If you’ll go back an re-read my post, you’ll see that I’m in agreement with the proper disposal procedure. If people do that (think about it and do the right thing, as you state) then they don’t need to worry. That was my point.
