I saw a small article this morning in the on-line Advance that Barrie residents will be given an easy way to recycle batteries soon. 

We will be receiving special bags in the next week or so that we can collect all our our batteries.  According to the article, we can place AAA, AA, A, C, D, 9 Volt and little button batteries in the bag and leave it by your other bins during regular curbside waste and recycling collection the week of Nov 2-6.

I think this is a great way to do our part and keep dangerous batteries out of landfill sites.  For more information, you can go to www.barrie.ca/CurbsideCollection, or call 705-739-4219.  Happy recycling!
