Recycling Batteries

X Kyle M Thompson - 27 March 2006
I have finally found a replacement battery on eBay to fit my budget - a not quite year old one for GBP20, so my 30 month old one - that now holds about 30 mins of charge - can go.
I intend to whip off the foot in case of requiring a spare in the future, is there anything else salvagable - like the flashing lights for the battery status?
Is there an appropriate place in Bristol where I should take the battery to be properly disposed of?

So I went to the dentist. He said 'Say Aaah.'
I said 'Why?'
He said 'My dog's died.' -

Most local council tips should have a place for the proper disposal of dead batteries (I know that my local one does, so I would imagine that others would too). I would suggest calling your local council and asking the refuse dept for advice.

Batteries can go in the normal black recycling boxes supplied by Bristol City Council.

You could always open it and refurbish it as a spare... If it doesn't work then dispose of it with minimal loss.

No sign of those here - do I have to ask for them?

So I went down the ice-cream shop, and said 'I want to buy an ice-cream'. He said 'Hundreds & Thousands?' I said 'We'll start with one.'

Every household should have one. If yours has gone walkabout you can request one here:

This sounds like one of Kyle's .signature quotes.
`So I rang my local council and asked to speak to the refuse department. I got put through and the guy I spoke to said, `No,' and hung up.'

Thanks, I have ordered one - we shall see if it goes missing before I even get to use it!

So I got home, and the phone was ringing.
I picked it up, and said 'Who's speaking please?'
And a voice said 'You are.' -

I once asked a friend if I could have first refusal on his old car stereo, so when he came to sell it I said, "No". We laughed.
