Cans, Bottles, Etc. Kathy enlightened us all with the information that today's household batteries can go to the landfill. According to Allen, if you need to dispose of your old screens, Boston has four drop off sites, and you can call 635-7574 for the information. We hope you can use our tips to make your holiday easier, and to cut down on your cost of trash bags, and space in the landfill. Hope to see you there.

Saving these batteries can't be easier.
