soak it in salted water for 2 weeks, then punch a hole through the pack and toss it.
Salt water nuetralizes the chemicals and makes it safe to dispose of.

There is a thread on RCG that did some testing. Putting the entire pack in salt water with it still haveing some charge will corrode the aluminum tabs off in short order and leave the pack still partially charged.

Best is to dicharge through a load (hook up and leave it hooked up until dead, then short the leads once you are SURE it is basically dead).

The immerse insalt water and puncture to cehmically react the remaining components.
