title_body: How do I safely dispose of my LiPo batteries? I have an old LiPo battery that is nearing the end of its life, how can I dispose of it safely?
upvoted_answer: First is to discharge the battery to zero volts which can be done by using a LiPo charger or a light bulb. It can then be thrown into a recycle bin, but check with your municipality before doing so as some will not take them. There may be a local or regional centre where they can be dropped off.
  
  It is not advised to use salt water as it takes a long time and its corrosive nature to metals can lead to incomplete discharge.
