You must not put them in the bin (might even be illegal).
In theory my council will collect 'household batteries' left in a clear bag on the top of my wheelie bin but I've got no confidence they wont end up over the street so have never tried that. You can probably take them to your local council dump/recycling place.
Shops that sell normal batteries are required to take back used ones and often have containers near the bin. I'd put a lithium battery in that and assume it will be sorted. Stick your postcode in https://www.recyclenow.com/recycle-an-item/batteries

If you're in waltham forest definitely don't bother. 3 times I've tried and I just found the bag on the ground in my front garden each time.

I've got some li-ion batteries I need to get rid of and assume I shouldn't just lob them in the bin (or can I)?
Is it a trip to the tip job or is there an easier option to get rid of them?
