Burying a lithium battery in your yard seems like a pretty terrible way to dispose of it. Could you not take it somewhere for recycling, especially since you discharged it? Doesn't the typical AT&T/T-Mobile/Target/Best Buy/Etc store have a recycling drop-off for old cell phones and batteries?

I'm not from the U.S. and I don't want to waste money going to the capital city just to throw away a little battery. There are no battery recycling places around my village (yes, living in a village). Nor anywhere near it.

Fair enough. I've gotten spoiled by access to these kinds of services where I live and didn't think about other countries lacking the same services.
