Tiny lithium and many button cell batteries also are quite hazardous and collected by the county at its landfill several miles east of town on Apalachee Parkway past Capital Circle. Generally, you can return spent car batteries to the place of purchase, which usually isn't hard because car batteries have a way of dying in airport parking lots and such places. You can recycle the one that let you down. Recycling batteries is a real breeze If it's inconvenient to get to the landfill or to remember to put out hazardous waste for pickup, there are lots of other ways to responsibly rid yourself of batteries once they are kaput. The state requires that battery manufacturers provide some type of recycling program before they are permitted to sell their products in our state.
