[NSRCA-discussion] Li-Po Battery disposal - Best way

[Vicente Bortone]

The local city recycler facility have been taking all batteries in any
state of charge.  I have done it two or three times.  Very easy.  Not sure
if they still doing it.  Probably makes sense to call and check in your
city.  I think they just gain green points by doing that.
