I was cleaning our a drawer and found an old cell phone with a swelling battery. I know i can’t/shouldn’t throw it away but because it is swollen recycling seems to be off the table as well. I found a place that would take it but they wanted $150 for the packaging to make it safe to mail.

I’m in north-west Louisiana. How do I get rid of it.

    Look up local “Hazardous Waste” and “E-waste” disposal. Some electronics repair shops will take them too.
