I just wrote USPS and (within one minute) got the following response: "No, unfortunately, used batteries cannot be sent with this program." I followed up to find out if this is some security concern or just a limitation of Clover Technologies Group's recycling services.... "Our agreement is for small electronics."

Does this include used batteries? I didn't see it included in the press release. That would make me happy.

Good progress. Used batteries make me crazy. Now if they could just send all those credit card applications and mortgage quotes straight into a recycle bin instead of my mailbox we could all be happy.

Reminds me of the old Dilbert comic where character A is carrying an enormous stack of office paper. After character B asks what's going on, A says "I'm Fed-exing all my old memos to the dump. Marketing sends everything that way"
