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.
I have a hazmat disposal center, as well as a recycling center ran by my county a couple miles from me.
Most people here don’t even know it exists, or that it takes most thins at no cost.
