Disposing of old airbags
Discussion
Over the last few years, mostly thanks to steering wheel and interior transplants (most recently an Audi A1 interior in my son's Polo) I have a few side and steering wheel airbags to dispose of. All bags are undetonated. Most online advice seems geared towards professionals. Any ideas / experience? I have a friend who works in a bodyshop, so worst case they can go to his place for appropriate disposal - but wondered if any PHers have any experience. TIA.

Attach some longer wire to the 2 wires in the (probably yellow) connector and give it 12V from a reasonable distance 
Balance a brick on top of it and you've got an exciting game of catch on your hands.
Hahaha I almost wrote (in my original post) that I wouldn't be playing with them! But if I did (whilst a friend was sitting on one) would they just go in household rubbish?!Balance a brick on top of it and you've got an exciting game of catch on your hands.

Don't do this in all honestly, you could end up seriously injuring them https://youtu.be/Fr-CNfi04IYI've taken old ones to the scrapyard before, they shouldn't really be put in general waste.
