FAQs

Can I Put Batteries In General Waste Bins?

Battery fires in bin lorries and at waste sites in the UK have reached an all time high – over 1,200 in the last year.

Batteries should not be disposed of in general waste bins. Batteries contain hazardous materials, such as heavy metals, which can harm the environment and pose health risks if not handled properly. Instead, when disposing of an electrical item, you should remove the battery and take it to designated recycling points or collection facilities where it can be safely processed.

What Are The Rules For Battery Waste In The UK?

There are specific regulations governing battery disposal. Consumers should remove batteries from any electrical item before disposal and return used batteries to recycling points or local recycling centres. You should never dispose of batteries with general household waste, and doing so can lead to environmental contamination and legal penalties.
