My NGO comment was tongue-in-cheek, but I do remember seeing government signs about battery disposal before (if I remember correctly, in the countryside of all places). I just feel that local landfills don't need any more items like that than they already have, though I suppose my laptop battery is not exactly the most toxic thing there. Carry on.
Not so fast Lexus. I found this
The Anana computer store in Phnom Penh center has a recycling bin for batteries.

Seriously though. I would put it in one of the recycling bins throughout the city. This one looks like it's for plastics and Styrofoam:

And then it's set on fire, it just screams proper disposal.

Quite like the tyre fixers near Murray's that used to torch unwanted rubber at the end of each day. Great way to enhance sunset over Bodge.

FYI I dropped it off at Anana the other day. They were totally surprised and confused when I asked about battery disposal. One guy told me they didn't take them until eventually a woman showed up and semi-reluctantly accepted it. I'm fairly certain my battery will end up in the regular trash anyways, but I guess my conscience is clear for trying, haha. Oh well... I wonder how the US Embassy got that info.
