Batteries (car)
Keep batteries out of your kerbside bins. They create a fire hazard in collection vehicles and at receiving facilities. Batteries that end up in landfill can leak toxic materials into waterways and ecosystems.
Before you throw it out
Keep intact.
How/where to dispose of it
Recycle via a Community Recycling Centre located at Council's recycling and waste depots.
Will it cost anything to get rid of?
No. Disposal is free at Council's recycling and waste depots.
What happens to it after we receive it?
Batteries are sent to approved, specialised recyclers where different materials are extracted, treated and safely disposed of. Recycling hazardous waste keeps toxic materials out of our environment, meaning less air, water, and soil pollution.
