Are you ever worried about lithium batteries?

[Grant]

I have a lot of unused lithium batteries lying around, from old phones, tablets, and devices, I am worried about what to do with half of them. I know lithium batteries are prone to exploding when exposed to certain temps and conditions. So I was wondering if there is a good way of disposing of them? I can probably recycle them at certain tech locations, but I don't know if I have one near enough to me.

Check with your local waste management authorities, they can handle the proper recycling or disposal of the batteries to minimize environmental impact.

I have one 5000mah lithium polymer battery lying around scraped from a power bank. I am worried about the explosion so I wrapped paper around it, I don't know if that's a good idea. I am planning to use it in a drone.
