Are you like Bored* Elon Musk – do you pine for an Uber For Dead Batteries?
“Person that comes to your house to remove your used AA batteries because you’re too lazy to ‘dispose of them properly.'”

“Curbside Battery Recycling Service – Most residents may place their batteries in a sealed plastic bag taped to the top of their black bin for curbside collection.”
This baggie system is news to me, as I’m accustomed to the Big Orange Bucket:
“Residents of multi-unit homes (4 units or more) should place batteries in their Orange Battery Bucket. If your building does not have one, ask your building manager to order one at (415) 330-1300. For more information on battery recycling, please visit: SFEnvironment.org/ecofinder
