Hide them in something else. No-one will be any the wiser!

One more reason to be wistful.... my town has recently passed a law
against disposing of *all* batteries in the trash (not just rechargeable
& lead-acid batteries).

Now we are required to accumulate them and to deliver them personally to
a hazardous disposal site (rather than having a separate garbage can
which the trash company will accept). And the site for batteries is in
a different part of town from the site where we must deliver all
electronics except for TV and computer monitors, which is in a different
part of town from the site where we must deliver paint & motor oil ....
etc. There are fees at each site (except one) of course.

Since portable appliance batteries (D, C, AA, 9-volt, hearing aid, etc)
are small, the battery law is probably impossible for them to enforce,
but it's the law....
