You may find some stores in some places that will take this stuff, but as far as I know this is not commonplace in much of North America.

Every single lowes or home depot has a recycling station for batteries and CFL bulbs at the entrance or near the customer service desk. I assume those stores are all over the country.

That’s very different than every grocery store, though. Might also be different in Canada.

My local grocery store takes batteries and light bulbs and a few other electronics/etc for recycling. May just be a local thing though
