So I replaced the battery of my Graphing Calculator and my Headphones just recently, and now i’m left with 2 batteries that I don’t how to dispose of.

As far as I am aware, there are no battery recycling stations around me (if that’s a thing, I heard it is), and If there are any, I kind of need to be told where lol!

The Headphone Battery was full capacity when I replaced it, oh and because it was attached via adhesive, it flexed a good amount during removal so i’m afraid to keep it.

Graphing Calculator Battery doesn’t hold a charge anymore.

Please help? Thanks :)

Edit: I currently live in California if that helps :)

    Any plastic tape should work. Electrical tape is just extra sticky and extra rubbery to be even moreso safe with electronics and last longer. But any nonconductive tape should work. If I’m taping a battery I plan to use again one day, I’ll use brown masking tape or blue painters tape so it’s easier to remove.
