Cellphone batteries. Where do you deposit them to not damage the environment?

Contact your phone carrier to see if they have or know of a recycling program

I know that you can recycle the batteries at retail stores sometimes. Best Buy for sure has one. They usually have the bin right next to the exit door. I recycle all of my old batteries there. Hope this helps.

Local cell phone providers will take them

Any cellphone store will take them, regardless of brand.

Radio Shack and similar places often have recycling boxes just for things like batteries.

 

[chorle]

many of the electronics stores like RadioShack and Bust Buy have recycling programs often that let you turn them into the stores.
You local government may also have a program to recycle them

You can send them to a local hazardous waste plant along with all your other batteries.

There is also a site called http://www.recellular.com/ that takes old cellphones and recycles the dangerous materials properly. however, I'm not 100% if they take just the battery or not.
