@mikeinreco-I didn't think it was innappropriate, on first look, but I could definite see how linking to them might be sort of a breach of forum rules. I wasn't sure and I'm still not clear. Again, I don't represent them or get a kickdown for namedropping and I certainly don't mean to suggest them as an alternative to any battery buyer on SMF. But I'm not going to defend it; if this qualifies as spam I will take my lumps and I won't make the mistake a second time.
I know BB takes batts and such but the perk of C2R is that you can fill one of their boxes and just have UPS pick it up when you are ready. I don't think they extend that service to individuals but I understood from my rep that businesses of any sort can do it this way. If you aren't near BB or you get regular UPS pickups, it saves time otherwise spent driving around, looking for an outlet. Plus, you can honestly tell your accounts that you offer responsible battery recycling as part of your scrap collection services. And they take cell phones but I don't think anyone here has any trouble with those.
One other thing: C2R is non-exclusive, meaning you can have their battery/cell phone collection box but you don't have to send them everything you receive. You can sideline materials for a better return and just send away the box of stuff you can't use. We do that and it's been very successful.
