RECYCLING BATTERIES

Many old batteries end up in landﬁ ll, where they can leak harmful chemicals into the soil. You can help tackle this problem by recycling your batteries.

Most supermarkets and shops that sell batteries now have collection bins for used batteries. Some town halls, libraries or schools may

also set up collection points. Look out for the Be Positive signs, or similar signs, in shop windows and in stores to ﬁ nd these collection

points. Several local councils already collect batteries in the doorstep recycling collection, or provide bins at the local waste and recycling

center. Check with your local council to ﬁ nd out what battery recycling choices are available in your area.

For more details about battery recycling, and the new laws, visit the website of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).

Why Recycle Household Batteries?

Some household batteries contain chemicals like lead, mercury or cadmium. If batteries are thrown into your normal rubbish bin, they are likely

to end up in landﬁ ll. Once buried, the batteries start to break down and can leak some of these chemicals into the ground. This can cause

soil and water pollution, which may be a health risk for humans. Recycling stops batteries going to landﬁ ll and helps recover thousands

of tons of metals, including valuable metals like nickel, cobalt and silver. This reduces the need to mine new materials, cutting CO2

emissions and saving resources.

What happens to the used batteries?

Recycled batteries are ﬁ rst sorted into different types – for example lithium, alkaline, lead cell, mercury button – as each type is recycled

differently. Lead acid batteries (used for car batteries) and mercury button cell batteries (ﬂ at, round, silver batteries found in watches) are fully

recycled in the UK. Lithium and alkaline batteries (AA, AAA and 9v batteries) are part-recycled in the UK. They are then sent to plants abroad

for the rest of the process. Other types of battery are sent abroad, as the UK does not currently have plants that can recycle these.

DISPOSAL OF USED BATTERIES:

environment and human health. This symbol marked on the battery and/or packaging indicates that used battery shall

not be treated as municipal waste. Instead it shall be left at the appropriate collection point for recycling.

By ensuring the used batteries are disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for

environment and human health. The recycling of materials will help to conserve natural resources.
