Where or how can I dispose of batteries like Energizer?

Question

My father throws them away hastily, even after I remind him its illegal and harmful to the environment. But my problem is: I keep old batteries (Mostly AA's, and a small disk like batteries) in a place other than the trash, but how do I get rid of them? So I want to lose them without just hoarding them, knowing they'll never come out.

Answer 1

You can recycle them at Radio Shack or Best Buy.

Answer 2

Call your town/city hall. They may host recycling events during the year (1 or 2 times). There is a special double lined plastic bucket that is designed specially for battery disposal. They are expensive for us to buy.

Answer 3

Feed them to your dog

Answer 4

They can be recycled

Answer 5

Alkaline batteries don't get recycled, they only recycle special kinds. Energizers or Duracells don't have any harmful chemicals in them so they can just go into your normal trash.

Answer 6

Best Buy

Circuit City

Radio Shack

Batteries Plus

Etc.
