Waste Batteries
In the UK we generate 20,000 – 30,000 tonnes of waste
‘general purpose’ batteries each year, with less than 1,000 tonnes being
recycled. Most batteries contain heavy metals which when disposed of
incorrectly, the casing can corrode and it leaks into the ground. Since
July 2002, regulation 9 of the Landfill (England and Wales) Regulations
2002 has made disposing of batteries in Landfill Sites more regulated. This
prevents any materials that are corrosive or contain corrosive material
being landfilled.
We offer a nationwide
collection and disposal service for your waste batteries.
