Disposing of a dead ...

[Spoiler]

... laptop battery. Just received a replacement battery for a thinkpad and now need to get rid of the deceased one.

Any suggestions? Had a search on the lenovo site, but nothing came up. Do the council take them at the local tip (sorry, recycling centre) - I think ours has a battery bin, but not sure if this includes laptop ones.

Even I am not that heartless just to chuck it in the bin.

return it to your nearest pc world or currys.

or mobile phone shop.

Also, I think Sainsbury's have 'bins' by the entrance for recycling old batteries.

Yeah - anywhere that sells new batteries must have a bin for old ones now.

List it on ebay for a penny buyer must collect.

Post it back to lenovo.

Phone up your council and ask. They all have different arrangements and thanks to Labour high spending most of them have a dedicated phone number for recycling questions: use it while you can!

Local recycling depots all have a batteries box for stuff liket this.

Just chuck it in a river or pond.

Just chuck it in a river or pond.

Burn it outside a local school or kindergarten.
