So I replaced the battery of my Graphing Calculator and my Headphones just recently, and now i’m left with 2 batteries that I don’t how to dispose of.

As far as I am aware, there are no battery recycling stations around me (if that’s a thing, I heard it is), and If there are any, I kind of need to be told where lol!

The Headphone Battery was full capacity when I replaced it, oh and because it was attached via adhesive, it flexed a good amount during removal so i’m afraid to keep it.

Graphing Calculator Battery doesn’t hold a charge anymore.

Please help? Thanks :)

Edit: I currently live in California if that helps :)

    Lots of phone/laptop repair shops have to dispose of batteries anyway, some will just take them for you. May want to call ahead and such though. I’ve had some luck with best buy etc too.

      You can dispose batteries at Best Buy? Do you know where in the Best Buy you would do that in?

        Used to be bins right inside the door. If they’re gone I’d just ask customer service.

            No, bins marked for recycling batteries, phones, etc.

            I don’t know if they were/are at every store though.
