Lithium-ion batteries are accepted at Call2Recycle sites at The Home Depot. You can also drop off old laptop batteries to be recycled at some office supply stores. Don't put them in the trash or take them to the landfill.

When disposing of LiPo battery, the goal is to discharge them completely until there is no charge left (0 volts). So that they won't burst into flames when punctured. Finally bring the discharged battery to your local battery recycling facility or thrown in the normal rubbish provided they are fully discharged.

Check with your local council as some have a recycling drop-off facility available for residents. If you cannot drop your batteries off, batteries cannot be recycled through the yellow bin. Batteries (other than lead acid batteries) can be placed in the waste bin, but then they will go to landfill.

Lithium-ion batteries and devices containing these batteries should NOT go in household garbage or recycling bins. Lithium-ion batteries SHOULD be taken to separate recycling or household hazardous waste collection points .

The discharge current must be one-tenth of the value of C (capacity of the pack). You can discharge your LiPo battery after getting a voltage rate of 1.0 voltage per cell or lower than this rate. Some Li-polymer chargers can't have the ability to discharge after the maximum 3 V per cell.

Lithium ion batteries contained in laptops, phones, battery packs etc. are banned from carriage in the check-in baggage. Interestingly these very batteries can unknowingly enter the cargo hold of the aircraft without any screening when oversized handbags are collected from the passengers at the boarding point.
