As specialists in battery waste, we benefit from an ADR qualified logistics team. Your waste will be safely disposed of and recycled where possible, with digital hazardous waste consignment notes available.
We are committed to driving sustainability through increased recycling and material recovery. Where recycling isn't possible, we prioritise responsible reprocessing methods and waste-to-energy solutions.
We provide a dedicated point of contact and a dependable service. We can collect multiple waste types in a single collection, helping to deliver both cost and environmental savings.
At Collect and Recycle, we specialise in disposing of hazardous and electronic waste. Through UN-certified storage, ADR qualified drivers and a network of licensed treatment facilities, your lithium batteries will be recycled in line with UK regulations.
As a business, it is your duty of care to ensure hazardous materials are disposed of through sustainable, safe processes. With the help of our team, your business will increase recycling rates and ensure the repurposing of materials.
Contact our team to provide details on your lithium batteries. Large volumes of lithium-ion batteries must be packaged safely. This includes wrapping batteries individually and securing them with tape to be stored in a plastic drum of vermiculite.
We can then analyse your needs and provide a no-obligation quote. Once the quote is accepted, our team can arrange a collection that best suits your business requirements.
Once collected, our ADR-drivers will transport the hazardous waste to licensed recycling facilities. Here, they are not only safely disposed of but also recycled into new products.
Managing lithium battery waste requires strict adherence to UK regulations due to the hazardous nature of the materials involved. Our service is designed to make compliance simple for your business, ensuring every battery is safely collected, transported, documented and processed in line with current legislation.
We issue instant digital hazardous waste consignment notes for lithium battery collections, giving you complete traceability and audit-ready documentation. This ensures your business remains fully compliant with waste handling and record-keeping requirements.
All lithium batteries are collected by ADR-certified drivers trained to handle hazardous materials safely. Their expertise ensures each collection meets strict transport regulations, protecting your site, staff, and compliance obligations.
Collected lithium batteries are processed at licensed treatment and recycling facilities, where valuable materials are safely recovered and disposed of. This responsible approach supports sustainability while ensuring your business meets all legal requirements.
You can access all of our duty of care documentation by using the button below. This includes waste exemptions, insurances and waste carriers license.

At Collect and Recycle, we prioritise safety, sustainability, and compliance. Our nationwide service ensures your lithium battery waste is handled by experts, reducing your carbon footprint and supporting a circular economy.
Ensuring proper disposal and recycling of lithium batteries is vital. Recycling can recover anywhere from 0 % to 80 % of lithium from end-of-life batteries.
Ensuring compliance with hazardous waste regulations is not just a legal obligation but also a critical aspect of responsible business operations. Lithium batteries, classified as hazardous waste, pose significant environmental and safety risks if not properly handled.
Recycling lithium from primary batteries prevents pollution and recovers valuable materials. With the help of our professional recycling services, we can push to minimise battery pollution.
LITHIUM-ION BATTERY STORAGE
Our UN-certified barrels can be filled with lithium-ion batteries to ensure this hazardous waste is stored and transported safely. These battery drums should also contain vermiculite, a material used for packaging to eliminate the risk of fires.
If your business generates large quantities of lithium battery recycling in the UK, get in touch with our team today. We offer collections nationwide for battery waste, often including solar and electric vehicle batteries.
With our help, you can ensure recycled materials are repurposed into new products, saving raw materials in production. Whether you generate lithium ion batteries or battery packs, we can ensure that your battery materials are safely recycled.
Yes! Lithium batteries can be recycled infinitely. This full recycling is technically feasible but can be complex. The process involves mechanically shredding the batteries to separate the various components such as plastics, metals, and electrodes.
Recycling lithium-ion batteries is challenging primarily due to their complex chemistry and construction. The batteries are made of several valuable materials that are tightly packed together in a way that makes them difficult to separate without sophisticated techniques. Additionally, handling these batteries can be hazardous due to the risk of fire and toxic chemical exposure, requiring special safety measures and equipment.
The recycling method for lithium batteries typically involves a few key steps. First, the batteries are discharged to eliminate any risk of electrical shock or fire. They are then mechanically processed to break them down into smaller pieces, which helps in sorting the various materials.
Chemical processes or smelting follow, where valuable materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel are extracted and purified for reuse in new batteries or other products.
We offer battery recycling for lithium ion, lead acid, NiMH, alkaline and dry cell waste. These battery components can be recycled with the help of our team, and diverted from general waste streams.
