First off not to sound rude or condescending, but are you serious? The smallest battery imaginable has toxic chemicals. If not properly recycled will leak into the environment.

Most battery cases and contents can be reused. The components and fillers used to produce electricity can be replaced and then resold. The components that cannot be reused are melted down and used for other things.
