How to get rid of your old batteries

1st.... Tape your batteries with electrical tape if you're storing them after they've been used.  Old batteries can cause fires.  Don't die or cause anyone else to die in a stupid fire.

2nd... after properly storing batteries, take them to Batteries Plus for recycling.

Cost 50 Cents per pound to recycle batteries.  The clerk said you can toss regular batteries but those that are rechargeable or lithium must be recycles as they contain some really toxic materials.  Personally, I feel they all be recycled if possible.

The clerk also mentioned SWACO might take them for free.  

3rd... Give yourself a pat on the back for properly storing batteries and recycling them responsibly.

4th... Think about minimizing the amount of objects you have in your home that use batteries.  The production of batteries causes a lot of intentional shifting of environmental elements which absolutely cause pollution and disrupt natural habitat.
