Firstly disposal.
I have some memory that if you were to chuck away an electrical
appliance
you should first cut the plug off.
However a cut off moulded plug itself seems dodgy as it could be plugged
in and have a live connection.




Personally I twist the L and N pins with a pair of pliers to prevent
insertion. Modern sleeved pins bend easily.

Completely mad if the appliance isnt dangerous.
