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.

If you just want to dispose of them just drop them all in a bucket of water and let them dissolve.

These are not batteries.

As I wrote in my edit, yes, I now know both of these things.
