(Portland, OR)  --  If you live in Portland, it's now easier to get rid of your old household batteries.  The Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability launched its new curbside battery collection service on Monday.  Most batteries that fit into a clear, one-quart, zip-sealed bag can be set out in your glass recycling bin for curbside pick-up.  However, some batteries must still be dropped off for safe disposal.  They include batteries from wireless devices, fitness bands, electric toothbrushes, cell phones, laptops, some toys, vape pens and other electronics.  You'll find more information at oregon metro dot gov.
