    Where I live, the local government tells us to recycle batteries by taking them to local stores. This despite no store doing recycling anymore because it’s unprofitable.

    As a result, universities, for example, don’t have a way to throw them away. They just say follow the city rule, and pretend it’s solved… Because the rule is broken, rare employees who do have a way to recycle them just take them home for everyone.

    Somewhere in this city there must be a mountain of fucking batteries that nobody knows how to throw away.

    Btw. this is Japan…
