Lithium Ion 18650 Batteries Scrapping

[jimicrk]

I have 2 5 gallon buckets of Li-ion batteries that came out of some wireless business phones I need to get rid of. I called a Batteries Plus store and they want to charge me a lot for them to take them. I guess I'll keep looking.

Lowes or Home Depot has drop offs in by the return area you could drop off a few bags of them at a time. I don't think they would want all 10 gallons at once

I don't (and won't) ever buy anything from Batteries+ (long story) but I do just walk in there with anything from a few to a bucketful & tell them, "These are batteries for recycling." and walk out.

If they ever tried to charge me for that, I'd likely just leave them in the trash can out front.
