Batteries (All) 
Home Depot (any location) only rechargeable batteries
Alkaline batteries are the common household types found in remotes, clocks, flashlights, smoke detectors and other wireless devices. They are usually non-hazardous and can simply be tossed into a regular trash can, except in California. However, since they still have power in them, it’s best to follow a few precautions before you throw them out: Collect used batteries in a container that won’t cause a spark such as a cardboard box or plastic tub. Prevent any fire risk by taping 9-volt terminals before tossing. 

Discount Battery (recycles most batteries) They will recycle everyday household batteries, however it's no longer a free service. Currently they charge $3.00 per pound.
