Look for eco conscious companies in your area, even if they are just doing it for optics. The property management co I work in has a battery recycling bin in the main lobby, others keep them out of sight but are just a request away. I just did a ~~google~~ search of my area and there are so many listed. Search "Recycle batteries in [city]"

Edit: I don't use THAT search but it is so burnt into my mind I missed it there, sorry, lol

It's ok to use google as a verb. Using the word that way is how it becomes generic, which is something Google would really hate. Not that it's gonna happen anytime soon, but we can always try.
