To dispose of the chargers, you should not only throw it into the garbage, although being aware that your local municipal domestic dangerous waste (HHW) collection center cannot accept them.
The Consumer Produce Safety Commission said, “Before taking your battery or device to the HHW Collection Center, contact it prematurely and ask if it is remembered that the lithium-ion batteries accepts the battery. If it is not, contact your municipality for further guidance,” the Consumer Product Safety Commission said.
We have found that in general, if your nearest center will not take electronics, they will tell you which people do or offer options.
