Well, I am going to put this info to use. I recently retrieved a radio control airplane that I got stuck in a tree over summer. The LiPo battery is totally shot (puffed up cells), and the voltage reads near zero. I will be taking it to the store sometime this week when I have a reason to head that way.

Does anyone else know of other places to take them to recycle them?

Edit: A bit more searching shows that Radio Shack will take LiPo batteries. They aren't toxic, but do contain valuable metals that can be recycled.
