How to Discharge and Dispose of LiPo Batteries

I had a Turnigy LiPo with a dead cell and wondered what to do with it. Instead of waiting for it to spontaneously combust in my garage I decided to research how to discharge and dispose of it.

Here are a couple of great references I used during the process of discharging and disposing my Turnigy LiPo battery:

If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them. Or share how you dispose of your dead LiPos in the comments. Any and all feedback is appreciated.
