Collect dead batteries(aaa, aa, 9volt, c, d, brick batteries, etc.) in a container and then recycle them!
Take them to radio shack, ikea, home depot, find a place that’s most convenient for you.
Then replace them with/and start using rechargeable batteries, my favorite brand is energizer rechargeable nickel-metal hydrides
get a charger and stock up!
you’ll be surprised how many batteries you actually use!
they are just like lightbulbs, you think you are using like maybe a dozen or so, when in reality its probably closer to 50!
