I was told that Longs's previous battery recycler stopped picking up used batteries and Longs's parent company CVS is looking for a new battery recycler.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11493042180563159292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378070318446165685.post-16932670914744881302009-06-26T13:45:31.456-07:002009-06-26T13:45:31.456-07:00Extended: Which Longs did you go to and do you re...Extended: Which Longs did you go to and do you remember the name of the employee? I just talked to someone I know at the Kahului Longs and they said they are 'still accepting batteries, as long as they aren't rusty, corroded or wet cell types.' I'll update the blog with Longs's battery recycling status the next time I take some batteries.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11493042180563159292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378070318446165685.post-19810874688116003882009-06-21T19:58:59.419-07:002009-06-21T19:58:59.419-07:00Well that was short lived.

No Can Recycle here brah!<br />Longs Drugs was bought buy CVS and will no longer recycle batteries. It is not worth the cost to them to do it they say.<br /><br />I understand that Walgreens when it opens in the fall may recycle batteries but until then there is nowhere on Maui to recycle household batteries that I am aware of.Erik Steinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202070058119695831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378070318446165685.post-32568734015947481972009-04-22T19:20:00.000-07:002009-04-22T19:20:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Elixir4https://www.blogger.com/profile/08034084699285626077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378070318446165685.post-66831576662818917952009-04-22T19:19:00.000-07:002009-04-22T19:19:00.000-07:00Thank you for the this!!!
