Normal recycling collection (if council does them) or local recycling centre. IKEA also take old batteries.

bag them up seperately or cover ends with tape or take them to your local recycling centre or some super markets have battery recycling schemes or your city council may have a collecting scheme where you give your post code and they collect them to recycle

You can put them in the red recycling box/bag that the council collect.
