There are 22 cancer-causing chemicals in common small household batteries; and, according to Mountain Equipment Coop these small batteries cause 50%-70% of all heavy metals in landfills.
What to do with dead batteries? You can revive them, contrary to what you're told by the big corporations.
A 60-Minutes documentary stated that alkaline batteries were originally invented to be rechargeable. A Canadian company, Pure Energy in Nova Scotia, makes rechargeable alkalines.
You can also buy info on how to revive any dead single-use battery.
