FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
No, you should not dispose of batteries in your general rubbish bins. Batteries contain hazardous materials such as heavy metals which can harm the environment and pose health risks.
It is estimated that we throw away over 600 million batteries a year in the UK. By recycling batteries, we can help reduce pollution, conserve natural resources, and prevent hazardous waste from harming the environment. Valuable materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel can all be recovered and reused, reducing the demand on mining for resources.
Once collected, batteries are sorted by type and sent to specialised recycling facilities. There, they undergo processes like shredding and chemical treatment to extract reusable metals and materials. These recovered materials are then repurposed for new batteries or other products, reducing waste and supporting a circular economy.
