Are you US based? And have you ever replaced a car battery? The store you buy your new battery from usually adds a charge to your new battery called a "core charge" that they refund to you if you bring your old battery. Plus the batteries are large and contain acid so people don't leave them lying around at home. This helps ensure high recycling rates.
