Batteries Recycling
|
Around 1 billion household batteries are used in the UK every year. In 2009, only 3% were recycled, the rest went to landfill. |
|
|
Batteries can be found in all sorts of things from toys and mobile phones, to power tools and laptops. Placing batteries in normal waste can be hazardous and new legislation that came into force on 1st February 2010 prevents this and at the same time increases recycling. |
|
Any retailer that sells over 32Kg of batteries a year has to offer battery take back by displaying a collection box, if you would like to find your nearest battery collection point, please click here… |
