You sure can! Lithium, in theory, can be recycled an unlimited amount of times and still be usable for creating more batteries. There are many areas and programs dedicated to recycling old electronics and the batteries that accompany them. Although it actually costs more to recycle a lithium battery than it takes to mine the lithium, recycling is still encouraged because demand for lithium is increasing and supply may shift in the future.
