> In all the towns I've lived in, it's illegal to put [..] lithium batteries in the trash

That's not true anywhere in the US, for the primary cell LiFeS02 batteries (such as the Energizer L91). They are not considered hazardous waste and the suggested disposal route is your trash can.

You are probably thinking of lithium-polymer batteries, which are indeed hazardous waste (and cargo).
