At lease for regular batteries, the collection and recycling of the battery is the responsibility of the seller of batteries. Thats why you don't see batteries as trash along the road side, unlike tires. A good example of the seller carrying the burden of disposal. So, I expect that the makers of the EV cars will be responsible for collection and recycling or disposal of these batteries. And this is built into the cost of the EV.
