Lithium Ion batteries should NEVER be included in curbside recycling or trash, as they can be highly flammable if not handled safely. These batteries have caused multiple fires at recycling facilities in recent years.
No matter whether a battery is rechargeable or not, it is safest to dispose of it as household hazardous waste.
