Where and how do we store them safely?

In landfills?

This brings up an aside I've been wondering about for years, when are we going to start mining our old landfills?

You could probably just stick them in a warehouse? Or a specialised landfill that only keeps electronics or batteries. (Most just to keep the overall volume down, so it's more economical to make whatever special arrangements you need to keep everything safe enough.)
