  How do I safely dispose of my LiPo batteries?
  
  
  If my drone crashes and I want to dispose of it, how can I do so safely? Is it necessary to disassemble the drone into different parts: motors, batteries, propellers, shell etc. ?
upvoted_answer: In the UK a drone would almost certainly be considered WEEE waste (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment.)
  
  You can take WEEE waste to your local waste handling/recycling facility; alternatively, there are "Take back Schemes" where some distributors will accept WEEE waste. This is often geared more towards white goods (fridges, washing machines, etc.); unfortunately you will need to check locally.
