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.

      Well a replacement is fine as well right? At least, assuming they got rid of the problem in the new one.

        Oh I’m thankful for the replacement, I’m just not thrilled with now having to find a way to properly dispose of the faulty one.

          Oh yeah totally forgot about that part haha. Just put in the trash of a neighbour you don’t like, might solve two problems in one go 😉
