Never bin your batteries

When used batteries are tossed in your landfill or recycling bins, they can start a fire in the collection truck, at the recycling sorting facility, or at the landfill.

Batteries that end up in landfill not only create a fire risk, they can also leak dangerous chemicals into our underground waterways.

Don’t bin your batteries.

Instead, drop them into collection containers at the following locations, free of charge:

Small handheld batteries e.g. - AA, AAA, C, D, 6volt, 9volt and button batteries
