To the Editor:
I would like to commend the Transfer station in Nobleboro for now having a place to dispose of ‘flashlight’ batteries; small batteries that used to go in the general garbage and get burned, thereby putting a lot of cadmium and other chemicals into the atmosphere (see http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1525/is_n6_v78/ai_14263165/).
We can all help a little in keeping a little poison out of the air by putting our worn out batteries in a bag and taking them to the office at the transfer station, where they go in a special bucket to be recycled with the least pollution.
