Most supermarkets have a 'used battery' drum or tub or something, they can go in there.

OK - wasn't sure if they were for normal alkalines only.

Most phone batteries are lithium ion nowadays. They're supposidly fine in the general waste.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_recycling
makes for an interesting read.
Basically we in the UK are rubbish at recycling batteries, and anywhere (bigger than a post-office) that sells them should accept them for
recycling.
Supermarkets seem to be the easist route in practice.

Our local Screwfix depot has a box for recycling old batteries and our household recycling scheme supply a plastic bag for battery disposal
