This is something you’ve probably always heard or been confused about. What do do with old batteries and if it’s illegal to actually throw them away.
If it’s your standard alkaline batteries like double or triple A’s it’s usually fine to just toss them no problem. Unless you live in California where even those are illegal to throw away.
Car batteries or batteries containing mercury are illegal to throw out everywhere. You can recycle them by dropping them off at places like Wal-Mart, Staples, or most autobody retailers for the car types. But a quick google search will tell you where to find battery recycling locations near you.

Megan’s Mom Quote of The Week:“Motherhood is an extreme sport. That’s why we have to wear workout clothes everyday. “
“Bike Buses” are what people are calling the newest trend among parents and kids. They are popping up more and more all around the country. Basically a big group of parents and middle school/high school aged kids all get together to ride their bikes in a big group to school in the morning. Then home in the afternoon.
It’s kind of a genius way to solve the bus driver shortage. Remember that from earlier in the school year? It also gets the kids some much needed exercise and even cuts down on the always infuriating traffic situation in the morning during the school year. Some of the kids say they are even in better moods throughout the day because of it.
What a great idea. Let’s get a few of these going here in Connecticut!
Leno, Letterman, Conan, Fallon, Colbert, you know all the famous names from over the years. The host of Late Night Television. The Tonight Show and The Late Show which have always started at 11:35pm instead of 11:30pm. Why is that?
The 11:35 start time began in the 90s when the Gulf War was going on. Networks wanted the extra 5 minutes of news coverage on the war in the 11 o’clock broadcast. Then it’s just stayed that way ever since.
Raven broke his wedding ring, and the fact that he hasn’t done anything to have it replaced or repaired is really upsetting his wife, Alicia. Will it affect his grade this week? Catch up with Raven’s Report Card!
