Some ideas:

- The location where you purchased the replacement batteries may have charged you a "core charge" that will be refunded if you bring in the old batteries that you replaced

- Less likely: perhaps a battery store will take them or even refund you a standard "core charge" amount even though you didn't purchase from there (or didn't recently purchase from there)

- Sumter County runs "amnesty days" a few times during the year where you can drop off certain materials that cannot be put into the trash. Batteries are one of the items that are accepted.

- I believe there is a Sumter County recycling center that will accept batteries
