Old blown nicads

Looks like the current advice is to phone your local authority. Hopefully they a have a collection service at a local dump. Certainly do not put them in the bin - Cadmium is not nice stuff to put into the environment.

According to Q12 here:

all NiCads collected in the UK are exported to France for recycling...

Seems only fair to me. We give them our old nicads and they give us their old nuclear waste material.
