Anecdotally, I’ve heard Battery World accepts them, but again, I’d 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.
I’m not actually sure that is quite safe enough, honestly, but maybe these spicy pillows aren’t as dangerous as I have been led to believe.
