Default lipo disposal story

Thought I'd share my experience with you guys. I had a couple of 2s packs that were past their best, old demon packs with attached wires. They no longer balanced as the balanced wires had come away, and the power wire sheathing had split so a short was likely.

Anyway, I took them to my local tip (aka household waste recycling centre). When I asked one of the knuckle draggers where he wanted them upon explaining they were lithium cells., he asked me to hand them to him, which I duly did.

He then simply chucked them into the iron/steel bin. Wtf? I'm pretty sure that's neither correct procedure or remotely sensible. Anyone else seen similar?

I thought there was something in place when it came to these things.
