Students at a Scarborough school did a great deed for the environment by collecting over 12,000 dead batteries that may have otherwise ended up in landfill. But when they called the city to pick them up, they were told that because the location isn't residential, the city wouldn't dispose of them. Once the media picked up the story, action resulted.
