   @dracoMetallium @emseeitch Hopefully UK isn't like US. My local e-waste center is drive in only. Sheriff's deputies tell you to stay in the car and open the trunk (boot in UK). Someone removes the items and writes a receipt. Then you drive away.
   
   Instead, I just take it to the municipality's 1x/year "tire amnesty day" at a local park.

     @emseeitch

     The nearest recycling centre in walking distance that may potentially accept it does not allow pedestrians

     Wait, what?

     How do they not allow pedestrians? You cant just walk in? Do have you have to jump a ramp or something?

     Struggling to find any useful advice on how to dispose of a swollen phone battery in the UK.

     Gov website just links to local council, which has no information on recycling damaged and potentially dangerous batteries.

     The nearest recycling centre in walking distance that may potentially accept it does not allow pedestrians, so would have to get two buses to a centre that does.

     It's no wonder most folk just chuck it in the bin (and maybe cause fires)
