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 recycling various types of batteries. Our team can collect nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery waste in bulk loads. We recycle NiMH batteries using safe, secure processes, ensuring your waste can be repurposed into new products.
Once the collection is booked, our team will collect the batteries employing specialised equipment whilst following strict safety protocols. This manages the risks associated with transporting these hazardous materials.
The collected batteries are then transported to a certified recycling facility where they undergo the recycling process. This process not only neutralises hazardous components but also recovers valuable materials like nickel, iron, and cobalt. These materials can then be used to manufacture new products.
Other types of batteries we specialise in disposing of include car batteries, EV batteries and dry cell batteries. If you generate any of the above please let us know when contacting our team.
Get in touch with our battery recycling team providing your quantity of batteries, location and contact details.
We will then provide you with a no-obligation quote and arrange a suitable collection service.
The waste will then be transported to one of our partners’ licensed recycling or treatment facilities.
NiMH batteries are widely used in various applications as they are a rechargeable battery with relatively high energy density. Here are some common uses:
