No idea where GP lives, but in lots of places there's simply no other option. Your best bet is to discharge the battery as far as you can make it, and then dump it with the rest of the trash. I don't have anyone willing to accept any batteries for recycling withing a few thousand kilometers. And yes, Amazon ships here just fine.
How is throwing a potentially damaged lithium battery into the trash, where no batteries of any kind should go, cautious?
