    Maybe the place where you bought it will take it from you.
    You can also dispose of it in one of your local authority recycling centres I think.

    You cannot put it in any bin (grey, green, brown, blue...)!

    No batteries whether car or duracell can go in your bins.

    Actually, do they charge you to take an old battery?

    Any of the recycling centres will take them for no fee.
