Best method for disposing of swollen phone battery?

[Vidar]

Hi Guys,

Got a heavily swollen battery from my phone that I've just replaced and I'm wondering the best method of disposing of it safely?

What do you guys recommend?

Some supermarkets have battery disposal facilities.

Some supermarkets have battery disposal facilities.

Which is often a big cardboard box, totally unsuitable for a damaged battery.

Take it to your local council recycling centre, they should have somewhere to dispose of it.
