What were you expecting? Have the recyler send a pickup vehicle to
your unspecified location? You may live in a rural area, but even
those have recycling centers and municipal dumps. When you're done
being so proud of trashing the environment because of your laziness,
you might inquire at to their locations and services offered.



Transition metals don't go anywhere much in ground water, due to the
very strong ion exchange with clay minerals. Putting batteries in
landfills is pretty well entirely benign, especially since in the next
100 years all the landfills will probably be mined--they're high-grade
deposits of a whole lot of things you need for a technological civilization.

Google "oklo natural reactor" for a billion-year experimental
demonstration of the slowness of transition metal transport in groundwater.
