what is the proper way of disposing lipo?

submerge in salted water or short the battery pack. im a little scared to shorten the leads as it may explode in my face.

any advise?

FYI its a 4s 5400mah 40c battery from turnigy
stored the battery at 60% capacity about 1 week ago. and it ballooned today
