<div dir="ltr">Thanks to all that responded. I decided to take the stash to Staples since their website indicates they take UPS batteries. After a gentle nudge from the manager, the electronics person unhappily accepted my shopping cart full of batteries (amazed at the load it could hold).<div>

I like other peoples' suggestions to dispose for free, or even get paid for your disposal. If you can, that suggestion is better than mine. ;-)<br>
<br>
Failing the above, my suggestion is to simply punch "battery" or "batteries" into google maps. There are tons of battery stores out there, probably at least one within 3 miles of any urban location. I just call them, ask if they take batteries, they say yes, I drop them off an pay a little bit of money. Sometimes they are automotive locations, sometimes they are simply battery stores. Such as Batteries Plus+. For example (near my home.)<br>
