Battery disposal

I thought this was intersting. I'm well aware of the sometimes posted - run them to zero, stick in bucket of water, possible nail though (lipo particularly) then take to recycling centre

But maybe just freezing skips several steps?

Freezing faulty EV batteries may make for cheaper disposal

When an electric car's lithium-ion battery is damaged or found to be defective, it has to be transported for recycling/disposal within an expensive explosion-proof container. According to a new study, though, such batteries could soon simply be frozen.

I just chuck em in saline and then bin them when reading 0v for the dustmen.

The way I read it. freezing doesn’t kill a battery.
Freezing is for safety when transporting the battery, once it’s back to normal temperature it’s still viable with no detrimental effects
