I’ve used recchargeables for all my life. some of the first ones still work. No idea where they actually end up but I always brought them to the battery section at the recycle depot when they finally died.
While better, even those were terrible at first. The first ones were charged for almost as much time as they were used for. We’ve come a loooooooong way with battery tech, mostly for the better. At this point, battery waste is almost entirely a recycling infrastructure problem(we need more facilities doing it and more people turning them in instead of dumping them).
