Nope, no can do in our part of the villages near Laurel Manor. NO aerosol cans, NO batteries of any kind they said (remember, where we are the lead, the chemicals from all the plastics, etc. are ALL put into the air. Of course the air from the incineration is "scrubbed" (as they put it) first, and is PERFECTLY SAFE, no negative effects "down the road" thankfully. But still need to dispose of regular "energizers"... seems everything needs a battery. The 11 smoke/fire alarms, every 12 months ... to add to all the rest !
