I will confirm that I have taken even large batteries from broken UPSs to Batteries Plus, and they've accepted them gladly. Target advertises that they offer collection too; but when I took my batteries to the Brier Creek store, they gave me the old "huh?" I wrote a letter to corporate, and now the Brier Creek Target does collect the batteries.
Side note, I'm always wary about what actually happens at Target/WalMart/Best Buy et. al. I feel most confident about Batteries Plus, because it's "what they do."
