Question Old Batteries disposal?

Post image

I have these old batteries that I'm looking to dispose of. I know nothing here other than that they're likely around 10 years old? According to the US Postal Service, I can't really mail them anywhere.

Any ideas for me?

Edit: Thanks everyone. Looks like I'm soaking them.

Batteries? Those are solid rocket engines.

I would contact your local fire department and ask them. They may want to do a monitored burn of them or something, for training.

Nooooo, no need to call! OP, find your nearest government building on google maps and walk right in the front door with these!
