Mercury battery disposal

Anybody know about eco-friendly disposal of mercury batteries. Can I mail one somewhere?

I just revived my long-dormant Avocet 45 cyclocomputer, it contained an old
#675 mercury battery, the type no longer sold in the US.

If I'm not mistaken, you can just take them to a Radio Shack.

Very good, thank you. I see on their web site, "Don't forget! Recycle used batteries at your local
RadioShack!" And a link to the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation http://www.rbrc.org/

I always bury them by the back fence where I dump the gasoline used in chain-cleaning.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk.
