Painless. Drop it off at your local Walmart battery dump area near the return desk.

By the restroom works cause you can you leave the basket outside the door and then just forget it when you walk out of the restroom.
Lots of fun stuff you can do at Walmart.
Stand in the greeting card isle and cry while you read the sympathy cards.
Go to the ammo counter and see how much ammo the attendant will get out of the display case for ya before he realizes you're messing with him.
Go to the auto motive section and find as many car parts as ya can. battery, wipers, floor mats, tires etc. to set up a car in one of the isles, then sit in the drivers seat pretending to be driving.
Take a fishing pole over to the live fish tanks.
Open a bag of dog food and hold some out to the ugly women walking by.
Turn up the volume on the TVs then leave.
Stand next to the door greeter and greet people with him. Tell him you're in training.

have you tried to buy lead lately, it is expensive, I needed 15 pounds for my sprint car, and it cost almost 100 dollars...sell the battery its worth about 50 cents a pound. no wonder they accept them...

Most fire stations accept hazordous stuff like batteries.
Me? Just drop it off in front of at a tire store before they open...same with old tires (if you feel guilty, just put two bucks with it).

Thats funny..... That's how I would get rid of my oil.....

As for tires... that EPA fee you pay when you buy tires is for the recycling of the tires you are buying not the ones coming off the vehicle. By LAW they have to take used tires and NOT charge you for them.
