IIRC some councils do provide for battery recycling from their doorstep
collections.

Brent, my London Borough, does.

My local recycling centre in Leeds has such a disposal facility. It's not on
the doorstep but it's possible to save such oddities until there are enough
to make a journey.

It's no problem.

It's also convenient that the scrapyard is next door to the recycling centre
so if you can be bothered (we can) to separate different metals you can come
away with cash in hand.

We're dealing with the third generation of scrap merchants!
