Battery Recycling FAQ's
Throwing used batteries away in general waste
and recycling bins is a serious fire hazard.
Any battery that holds a charge can spark and
cause a fire. Lithium batteries are particularly
dangerous. If crushed inside a collection truck
they can self-ignite and cause explosive fires.
Button batteries are a particular fire risk
because they have a large battery terminal that
can easily spark. They can also cause internal
burns if swallowed by small children and pets.
Various types of batteries can be recycled, including alkaline, nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd), nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH), lithium-ion (Li-ion), lead-acid, and more.

If you are transporting a significant quantity, it may be advisable to contact the recycling centre for specific guidelines.
Damaged or swollen batteries pose unique risks due to the potential for leakage or release of hazardous materials. It is crucial to handle them with extreme care. Place damaged or swollen batteries in a leak-proof, non-metallic container, and label it as hazardous.
