A re-volting experience!

I tried to get rid of a non working Dorado battery out of an Eahora ebike,even after research( which said they would take take it) the Lowes sales associate( who was sitting in her arse when I asked her where the battery recycle bin was) informed that they would not take it for recycling even though it was 4# under the weight limit,this genius pointed to the stenciled or printed character on the bin that looked like a power tool battery and something else and indicated that's was the final say,the website sez they will take the batteries under 11#,I have found several times out of ten the worst thing to have behind the counter is a woman( sorry other 10%) I will see if "staples" will take it(once I went in a business that made hydraulic hoses and asked the ahem sales lady about
'o rings"-no we don't have them-one of my many gripes about behind the counter woman a very few men are quite as bad.So what is my recourse( of course it was a woman who told me my trego was unstable-guess she never seen a "Piaggio or slingshot",I always try to get someone of the male persuasion to do my business with if possible) so where can I take this thing or just sit it up at the shooting range and have at it? Comments are welcome,I used to be a feminist till a few years back.

Ignoring the mysogonistic comments, why on earth would you assume a retail business would take your dead ebike battery? Did you call ahead of time or just read it on the internet then assume it applies to every location? The dump or landfill usually has a hazmat drop off day, out here in Oregon anyways, where you can properly dispose of most things hazmat. Check with your local dump or landfill ahead of time, lord knows you'll probably see someone "sitting on their arse" when you get there. God forbid anyone sit down.

my worst retail experiences have been with woman,yes,these days we have different experiences with all retail,geared more to total profit rather then customer service( sitting on a handicap cart chilling is not conducive to customer confidence,oft times I get opinion rather then fact from the "Karen" sales people OTH there are the "golden"10% that do their job exceptionally,with stores like Lowes there always seems to be a clique of a woman and a couple of guys chasing her that disappear like a startled"covey of quail " when you need assistance,I found in all the lumber retailers you generally need a male associate and even in the bike shops you get a lot of"Karens" opinion,are things different on the "left coast"? Sorry if I ruffled your feathers .
