Battery Recycling w/ Eucan Bins = Alkaline Spill
Not that I need to point out, again, how ridiculously illogical the Eucan megabins are, but I can't help but share today's observation.
Waiting for a bus, I look over and notice the battery slot. Before I can finish the thought process of wondering if anyone uses it, I look down and notice that attempts have, in fact, been made. Unfortunately, Eucan apparently forgot to include some sort of retaining device INSIDE the bin (at least at this and another location further along).
The result: Every battery that's dumped in, just ended up hitting the sidewalk, rolling onto the street and poisoning our environment. At this spot, there were about 15-20 out for a roll.
(Way to go City Hall.)

I've noticed you spend too much time criticizing. How about using that time to do something productive.
This is a great solution no matter how you see it.
Get a sense of humour, man.
It's not a solution because it doesn't solve a problem, it creates one.
Do you think the city has the money to pay for this service? The problem is the lack of understanding of the big picture!
First of all I'm not Robbie, second of all GET A LIFE, and GET A JOB.
Pay taxes one day and you'll beg for solutions like this to reduce the burden off your pay cheque.
Critizing doesn't solve the problem either. The problem is that uneducated people like you litter the streets and the City has to find ways to overcome the problems people like you create.
Did I mention GET A LIFE?
Rechargeable batteries and high energy non rechargeable will be a trendy to avoid the situation.
