You might try Best Buy.  I know they recycle flat-screen TVs so it's worth a shot!

After I replaced the battery on my laptop, I called the Staples store at Gateway Shopping Center in Wayne to confirm that they would accept an old laptop battery for recycling. When I went to the store, the employee tried to feed me some baloney that the battery could not be accepted for recycling because it was bulging (it was not; I replaced it because its ability to hold a charge had dropped). Needless to say, I didn't buy what I planned to buy after dropping off the battery, and Staples has lost a customer.

That said, I now have a laptop battery that needs to be recycled. Any suggestions on where I can take it? Thank you very much.
