I use them and then take them back for a refund as faulty.
Do I just take them to my normal aldi store and ask if they can recycle them or is there a drop off point like say for donating to st Vincent's or salvation army wrath the charity bins.
I am located in Katoomba NSW 2780.
There's a battery shaped bin you can put them into.
Got a picture or link to it?
I genuinely can't tell if this is a troll post or not I was laughing at the thought of a battery shaped bin.. oh weekend sleep ins. :)
@AlienC: Not a joke, look for it next visit. You only had to web search for Aldi battery recycling to get the details. :P
@greenpossum: ah Aldi battery recycling haha I looked for Aldi battery shaped container and Aldi battery shaped bin haha lool
Aldi's battery recycling bins are usually filled with other people's rubbish :-(
"Super Heavy Duty Batteries" are not alkalines so are not suitable for high drain appliances.
Not very good really.
Please don't buy carbon zinc batteries.
Pay an extra few bucks and get Varta alkaline etc.
Whats the line of thought there coxymia?
Carbon zinc are the worst quality battery, and will straight up not work in some devices.
Thank you, the more you know
Carbon zinc don't leak. Any recommendations on non leak Alkaline?
Just go Eneloop or Ikea rechargeable. Much better value in the long run too.
I'm surprised it's still legal to sell these.
Why not, we are still burning coal for power. 3rd world politicians, wouldn't expect more.
These batteries are not cost-effective; coal is.
Same. Very old and crappy tech batteries. From a purely financial point most people would probably save money by spending more on alkaline (lasts longer in all but the very lowest power requirement devices - rare things most people won't be using them for)
I always think of the old Eveready batteries of the 80's when I see these things for sale still.
So what should I buy for some simple devices such as:
- remotes
- small torches
- headphones for noise cancelling
- motion sensor light
- luggage scale
- digital kitchen scale
- temperature monitor
- clocks
- solar lights and bug zippers
- basically a bunch of other tiny device low power stuff
This or Ikea or aldi batteries?
@AlienC: Also consider a hand-me-down scheme. First use the alkaline batteries in higher current devices, like toys, torches, etc. and when they are "used up" you will find they will work fine for the rest of their lives in remotes, clocks, scales, etc.
Just a reminder, don't throw batteries out in the general waste, the toxic chemicals and metals can leak from batteries when they erode in landfill and contaminate the environment.
Aldi, Ikea and Battery World have drop off points where they take them for free and recycle them.
