I dispose of used Kindle batteries at Best Buy. They have a recycle container at the front of the store for rechargeable batteries.

Also a good idea to wait until your battery is pretty well worn down before doing the replacement.

The whole issue, however, remains FINDING a replacement battery. That's the first concern that the OP is expressing.
