On another note: I picked up yet another camera on the flea market. After some inspection and cleaning it seemed to be alright. I did the regular hacking and bodging to make a modern battery work with it. Currently shooting a cheap Kentmere 400 test roll.
Now to my actual question: This camera still had a banned mercury battery installed. Empty and luckily undamaged but how do I dispose of it properly?
P.S.: Pardon my dirty desk mat. I cleaned it afterwards.
Definitely don’t put the battery in your bin. I’d expect your local recycling centre to take batteries (go on your council website to find where that is). Failing that just the used battery boxes as found in many supermarkets would be ok.
Love the ferry shot @mi7rennie 🙌
