Please don't put batteries in your rubbish or recycling. They can explode and cause a fire when crushed in the collection vehicle or at a recycling facility
What do I do with it?
Take them to a recycling centre.
- car batteries are often collected at garages and scrap metal facilities, or
- they can be taken to all Household Waste and Recycling Centres
