Getting rid of a spent iPod battery

Last night, I managed to put a new battery in my (third-generation) iPod. It was slightly more of a pain than I thought it would be, but it seems to have worked. So this morning I was about to toss the spent battery into the trash when I realized that this was probably not a very responsible thing to do.

One quick Google later I found this: FastMac says that even though I didn’t buy my new battery from them, I can send them my old one and they’ll dispose of it responsibly through their TruePower Recycling Program.

So barring unforeseen developments, that’s my satisfying unconsumption moment of the week.
