    Speaking of recycling – does anyone know a place in West Seattle that accepts spent Alkaline batteries? And if so what is the fee, if any?

      Mad Sci Guy – SPU does home pickup of batteries for $5. Just call and arrange a special pickup. Or find a friend or neighbor who has Ridwell recycling – Ridwell takes them too!

Sorry, comment time is over.
