1. Discharge the LiPo battery as far down as you safely can. You can do this a number of ways.
2. Place the LiPo in a salt water bath. Mix table salt into some warm (not hot) water.
3. Check the voltage of the LiPo. If the voltage of the battery is 0.0V, great!
4. Dispose of the battery in the trash.
