I wish this were so ... I just called the Radio Shack near the paper I work at in Reno and they don't recycle any alkaline battieries. Bummer! I wish they did as I've been trying to figure out what to do with mine.

My Radio Shack DOES!

I live in a small town in north central Illinois and I just called our Radio Shack and they DO accept batteries!!! YEAH!!!

Sorry, yogamomma. Maybe you should email the powers-that-be at Radio Shack to see if they'd convince Reno to participate. ;)

I called several Radio Shacks in the Dallas area and none take alkaline batteries, only rechargeable. One guy told me that alkaline batteries have no effect on the environment and to throw them in the trash. Also, I went to several Whole Foods and no one took the alkaline batteries either.
