I replaced my laptop’s battery after it was swollen. I found out that services like call2recycle do not take swollen batteries since they are potentially hazardous material. How can I get rid of that damned spicy pillow? In Dallas. Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion and tips guys. I have bought lipo fire resistant bags for the batteries. As stated in suggestions here, most of the places like Home Depot, Best Buy, Lowes do have a recycling program; but some of them have disclaimers regarding not accepting swollen batteries. I plan to go to Batteries and Bulbs, Best Buy asap; they look most promising.

    That’s a good advice. I checked the process for my city. I had to go to the city office, and after I provide my proof of residence they would give me a voucher. I could then use that voucher to dispose any hazardous household waste at a designated waste collection center.

    For my battery, I went to Batteries and Bulbs. They did not charge me anything, even returned my lipo bag.
