Places like Auto Zone/Advanced Auto Parts/Pep Boys, Batteries Plus, and
Interstate Batteries around here take them for free or pay you for them.
You might try calling somewhere with "batteries" in the name locally or
find someone who sells car batteries.

Your story is reminiscent of when I tried to recycle fluorescent light

take CFLs".
