Batteries must not be placed in the waste or recycling bins- instead please put them in our special battery recycling bins and ensure the valuable and non-renewable components are captured for re-use.

Recycling batteries captures the metals and chemicals within them and reduces the demand for mining these non-renewable resources. Recycling them also keeps their toxic chemicals out of landfill.

 

Place any dry cell batteries in our special battery recycling bins; you can bring them from home too. There's probably a battery recycling bin near you:
