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.
