Anecdotally, Iāve heard Battery World accepts them, but again, Iād call ahead to confirm.

So, update after calling the local council:
The council rep said to drop it in their e-waste collection bin, next to the other mobile phones.
Iām not actually sure that is quite safe enough, honestly, but maybe these spicy pillows arenāt as dangerous as I have been led to believe.
