Dear Hen, The old City Incinerator on Meriwhether Ave. (near Eastern Pkwy. & Goss Ave.) takes all electronics but only 4 pieces per person per visit at no charge. If you're a business, they charge by the pound. You can find the exact name and address via Metro Call (311).
Batteries are a different story. I'm pretty sure that Target properly recycles them as do many other places. There used to be a way to find out who on the net but I'm losing it with age. Have a good week, Jeff Slyn, Owner SLYN Systems & Peripherals (502) 426-5469 serving Kentuckiana clients 7 days a week since 1985!
