How do I recycle old batteries?

I have lots of old devices lying around with rechargeable batteries that I want to get rid of. Cell phones, laptops, cordless vacuum cleaners, etc. Everyone says not to throw these things in the garbage but I don’t know where or how to recycle them. My city only recycles plastic and aluminum. What should I do?

    Go to target, to the customer service counter, there should be a box which has two sides. One is for old cell phones, the other for batteries. IKEA also has a similar recycling program!

    Take them to your local Radio Shack. No worries. If they are Alkaline batteries, then just throw them away.
