Most retailers and manufacturers of car batteries will accept old batteries for recycling or proper disposal. You can also check with your local municipality to see if they offer any battery recycling or disposal programs. If you need to get rid of the batteries yourself, be sure to first remove any traces of power from the battery and then place it in a safe, sealed container for storage and transport to an authorized recycler or discard facility.

You can take the batteries to a local recycling center, where they will be properly handled. Some states also offer programs to safely dispose of car batteries, usually for a small fee.
