In the United States when you buy a new lead-acid car battery, they will charge you $10-$15 extra unless you turn in your old one (this is referred to as a "core charge"). The infrastructure already exists at parts stores to recycle these type of batteries, I'm sure it could be extended to li-ion ones as well, If they made their way into cars on a large scale.
