Hey Davis Squares,
Is there a local place, perhaps a business, that collects batteries to recylcle?
Sure, we can schlep our collection to Best Buy the next time we go but it would be mighty convenient to have such a place within walking distance.

The Cambridge DPW (http://www.cambridgema.gov/TheWorks/departments/recycle/donaterecycle.html#batteries) says you can throw away alkaline batteries made since 1994. They accept various kinds of batteries including the little lithium ones at the Recycling Center and on Household Hazardous Waste days. Neither of which are convenient to Davis Square, especially for Somervillians, I admit. But it suggests that you shouldn't put them in the trash.
