Free smoke detector batteries at Ace Hardware stores

Two Ace Hardware stores -- Waverly Ace Hardware and Federal Hill Ace Hardware -- will give away free smoke-alarm batteries in exchange for used ones next week.

The promotion, from October 4 through October 10, is part of National Fire Prevention Week.

The old batteries will be recycled through the Ace Hardware battery recycling program. Just bring each old battery (individually encased in a plastic bag) to any Ace Hardware location. The batteries will be recycled by AERC Recycling Solutions in southern Virginia.
