I also use a light bulb in a lamp socket salvaged from my junk box. Plug it in and leave it (outside).

I prefer to discharge fully.Whatever the final disposition, recycle place, etc,On a 5s 5000, Ive used a 150W outdoor flood light, or bathroom heat lamp.

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.

I have discharged batteries using a glass bowl (not metal) filled with a concentrated salt water solution.  2- 5S 5400 ma Lipos took about 2 days for them to get to 0.01 volts.  Yesterday I discharged 2 4S 2200 Lipos in a day to 0.00 volts with the same process.  No danger, just let them sit and maybe refresh the solution for the bigger batteries.  Leave a little longer and they will go to 0.00 volts
 
Strip the leads staggered and watch that the positive lead doesn’t get caked up in a day or so.  It’s neat watching the bubbling taking place as the “electrons” flow out of the packs.

Hello Don,
 
Long time no see. So I have an old 5000 10s flight pack that I want to fully discharge. How can a single 12v taillight bulb discharge this flight pack?

The process I use is to fully discharge the pack using a automotive tail light bulb, strip the mail leads back a couple inches and twist them together then dispose of if in the trash.  Fully discharged, lipos pose no environmental dangers.

I have a LiPo 5s 5000mAh pack that has a dead cell (1.6v).
 
What is the best way to dispose of this battery?
