The  research I did says the chemical properties of a lipo break down on 
full  discharge to a state where they are not environmentally harmful.   
However, if you don't agree, physically disposing of the discharge lipos in a  
environmentally 'safe' certainly will be the safest way to get rid of  them.  



I was under the impression the sat water bath changed the chemistry of the  
Lipo Battery. Not only would one have to drain the battery, but also 
puncture  the battery to allow the salt water bath to do it's job. Once done 
properly, the  battery chemistry is harmless. I do agree the Radio Shack route 
sounds  better.
