How do businesses properly handle battery disposal and stay compliant without making it complicated?

I'm comparing several options for battery recycling services for our office. Not sure what to look at first since there are quite a few providers out there. Does chemistry type actually matter when separating batteries for disposal?

Went through a similar process a while back when we had to figure out battery disposal for a mix of equipment including old UPS systems and various rechargeable devices. After looking at a few options I found that one of the more important things was whether the provider actually explained how different battery types are handled separately since not all of them go through the same process. I came across Modern Waste while comparing options and it was one of the few where the separation by chemistry type was described in a way that actually made sense. From what I understood batteries like lithium-ion from tools and lithium-ion from phones may share the same chemistry but still go through different handling steps depending on whether cells can be tested and reused. That kind of detail matters if you want to make sure you are staying compliant rather than just handing bags off to whoever picks them up. Beyond sorting the other thing worth checking is whether the provider covers packaging insulating transportation and labeling since managing those pieces separately adds a lot of friction. I would not say one provider fits every situation but the more specific they are about what materials they accept and how each type is processed the more confident you can feel about the whole thing being handled correctly.
