Absolutely. Rechargeable batteries can be recycled at Best Buy, Radio Shack, Home Depot and many other locations.

As somebody mentioned, EV batteries don't have this problem since they're large enough to be valuable. In fact, Toyota pays $200 or more for Prius battery packs. That alone will keep them out of the landfill.
