Batteries

Just doing some checking, as my daughter reminded me that I should be conscious of the final disposal of the batteries in hybrid vehicles.

Here's one source,..."Toyota dealers and the nine regional Toyota parts distribution centers collaborate on battery recycling. That kind of networking is something Toyota generaly excels at. When a customer's Prius battery pack needs replacement, the truck that delivered a new one to his dealer returns to the parts center with the spent battery, and any other parts destined for disassembly and reclamation. When enough batteries have accumulated at a parts center to fill a truck, they are shipped to a recycle operation.
.
Not across the sea to Japan I’d hope?
.
No the final recycling steps for batteries are outsourced here in the US. "

Now I need to research the same thing for Honda and for Altima.
