The Waste Batteries and Accumulators Regulations
If you’re buying a new battery, we will recycle your old one for free.
Why recycle?
Used batteries are the UKs fastest growing type of waste.
Many batteries can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the environment. If you do not recycle, used batteries will end up in landfill where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination – harming wildlife and also human health.
