Recycle Batteries

Hello

Does anyone know where I can take old batteries in Hong Kong?

I have a bag of them, a mixture of watch batteries, regular AA style non rechargeable and mobile phone batteries.

I know MacDonalds used to have a dropoff for mobile phone batteries but doesn't seem to be the case any more.

Whilst on the topic, I also have a pile of old, some broken, electronic goods like old mobile phones and other bits and pieces. Anywhere I can dump this off with a chance of recycling other than in the rubbish?

Thanks. Couldn't find anything on there about non rechargeable batteries so I have dropped them an email.

Will update the thread if I learn more.

Yeah, I looked too - there's nothing there about standard batteries. Seems they only regard rechargeables as toxic?
Do pls post here if you find a depot.

thanx
