Hmm, I was going to say, "yes!" but then reconsidered given the SLA 
stipulation.  BFI maintains a recycling center in San Carlos--see 
<http://bfisanmateocounty.com/recycle_transfer.html>.  They take 
"household batteries," which likely means they don't take lead-acid 
batteries.  I'd suggest talking to your favorite auto shop to find out 
what they do with dead car batteries; you should be able to do 
something similar with your UPS batteries.
