I have not heard or read of a consistent place where used / dead AA , AAA, C and D size or other household batteries are collected for disposal other than throwing them in the land fill bin?

Is this the only option or are there better solutions? I observed in Barcelona a drop off point (i.e. hole in a shop window) where such smaller items were deposited. As batteries are becoming even more importantly strategic for lower carbon footprints ( is that so?) what are the best means of disposal for the long term?
Also, I have had to buy x number of electric drills over two decades because the batteries have died? Surely we should be in an age of repowering such items than increasing consumerism associated with a throwaway society. Has anyone constructive ideas please.

New electronic speed reduction signs at a notoriously dangerous intersection near Hobbiton haven't stopped calls for a more permanent solution.
The electronic 60kmh speed signs were installed last week and sit on both sides of SH29 just before the Hopkins Rd turn off.
But Chooky's Auto owner Darrell Conder, whose business sits on the intersection, says the signs have done little to slow drivers.

So what do you think should be done to reduce crash risk at this intersection?

A lot of what we're putting in our recycling bins cannot be recycled.
Paul Evans, chief executive of waste management industry body WasteMinz, says in 2018 about 10 per cent of each Auckland household's recycling bin was "contamination" – items that people had put in hoping for the best, but which could not be recycled.

If you're in doubt whether something belongs in the recycling bin, the best practice is to simply leave it out.

Catherine Mosbach was surprised to hear what Garden Place was called, as she wondered where the gardens were.
However, she noted it could be used for various public events - an important factor for public space.
She also thought work on Victoria on the River was well done, said, but the foliage by the seats was "a little shy".
