What you can do with your BATTERIES
Recycle: All single-use (alkaline) or rechargeable batteries can be taken to Whole Foods stores for recycling. In some states, battery recycling programs are in place at a number of chain and independent stores, as well as libraries and community centers. Visit Earth911 to find a drop-off site closest to you.
Rechargeable batteries can be recycled at Whole Foods, Best Buy or Radioshack stores nationwide. You can also find other recycling location near you through Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation.
Rechargeable Apple product batteries can be recycled at any Apple retail location in the U.S.

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.
