is there anywhere local to dispose of a lithium laptop battery?

or do i need to go to old kent road tip?

The Co-op used to have a box for recycling batteries. Don't know if they still do.

ETA: It may not take this kind of battery though. Sorry, I didn't read the post properly.

There is a recycling bin for small electrical items outside Denmark Hill station. I presume it would be OK for it to go in there?

The Denmark Hill bin turns up on the Southwark advice page (where they include batteries) at https://www.southwark.gov.uk/bins-and-recycling/recycling/recycling-centres/waste-electricals#.

Perhaps  not local but maybe of use (my laptop battery comes in at 22cm):

‘Very small WEEE’ are items of waste electrical and electronic equipment that are less than 25cm on their longest side.

"You must take back all items of ‘very small WEEE’ in store if your electrical and electronic equipment sales area is greater than 400 square metres including aisle, display and shelf space."

That's from this thread:  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/303055-light-bulbs-recycling-nearby/

You could see if anyone you know is going to the tip for other reasons and could take it for you, to save you a journey just for that?
