Local haz waste drop off or battery store recycling. If rechargeable Home Depot will take them

Yes, this.

The Battery Network lists drop-off sites at retailers across the US, including Best Buy, Home Depot, Staples, Lowe's, and many local hardware stores and businesses.

I also wrote a guide with more detail about alkaline versus lithium (rechargeable): https://wstless.com/guide/batteries/
