As an end user, you are legally obliged to return used batteries so that they can be recycled or disposed of properly.

Used batteries can contain harmful substances that can damage the environment or your health if not stored or disposed of properly. However, batteries also contain important raw materials such as iron, zinc, manganese, or nickel and can be recycled.
