Actually,there are electronic solders with no lead that have much lower
melting points than standard 63/37 solder.
Chip-Quik solder melts at 160 degF,no lead.(for SMD parts removal)

They cost more,though,some types a LOT more.

SLA batteries are required to be recycled.You can drop them off at Wal-Mart
and many other stores.(same for used motor oil!)
Radio Shack accepts rechargeables for recycling.(not car batteries)
