You can recycle alkaline batteries but they cannot be put in recycling bins. This is because, normal recycling breaks down the item through a combination of pressure and heat before reforming new materials, but batteries have acid in them which is poisonous. Look into the local regulations on how to recycle batteries, usually each county will have a small recycling area for electronic waste.
