Few recycling places will accept lipo cells. To throw them away in the garbage, you need to discharge them to 0 volts by submerging the pack in a bucket of salt water (couple table spoons of salt per gallon) and leave it there for a day or two. You should notice bubbles forming on any exposed terminals. Once the bubbles stop, the pack is dead and safe to throw away.
