Batteries themselves are obviously classed as battery waste. However, it’s worth remembering that equipment and machinery that includes built-in batteries must be disposed of according to strict regulations too.

Yes, we can collect your AA and AAA batteries and dispose of them responsibly. However, we can also pickup and dispose of industrial batteries, computer batteries, and more.

The average battery includes a range of potentially harmful substances. Don’t take chances. If you need to throw away batteries, call in the professionals at Urbin.

If you have batteries to get rid of, you can rely on our professionals to take care of everything. All we ask is that you place your used batteries in the battery waste bins we provide.

This applies to all battery types, which include:

• Portable batteries for electronics and small appliances
• Industrial batteries for electric vehicles and large plant machinery
• Car batteries

If you have rechargeable batteries, please make sure that they’re no longer charging. As an environmentally friendly battery waste collection company, we’d hate to throw away pefectly useful batteries needlessly!

You actually don’t need to worry about disposal – that’s our job; it’s what you’re paying us for. All we ask is that you stick to any weight limits we impose and make sure your waste battery bins are accessible to our refuse professionals.

In the UK, retailers and distributors who sell or supply 32 kilograms or more of portable batteries annually are legally required to offer free collection or take-back services. This entails providing a collection point on your premises with a battery recycling bin suitable for items like laptops and phones.

If you just have a few household batteries to dispose of, we recommend going to a supermarket and looking for a dedicated waste battery container. Alternatively, go to your municipal refuse centre and ask a member of staff where their battery container is.

Start by ensuring your batteries are sorted according to type. This should usually be identifying on the outer cassing. This makes processing easier and safer when your batteries finally reach the recycling centre.

Some batteries can be reused. However, most are broken down into their component materials. Among the most common types of batteries that can be recycled are:

Lead-acid batteries, commonly used in vehicles and industrial applications, are among the most recycled products globally. The recycling process involves
Collection and transportation, breaking and separation, lead processing, and acid neutralisation.

This comprehensive recycling process not only conserves natural resources but also prevents environmental contamination and public health hazards.

Lithium-ion batteries, prevalent in electronic devices and electric vehicles, present unique recycling challenges due to their complex composition. Current recycling methods are often inefficient and costly, with only about 5% of lithium-ion batteries being recycled.

These efforts are crucial as the demand for lithium-ion batteries grows, and recycling becomes essential to reduce reliance on newly mined materials and lower carbon emissions. One thing you can rely on is Urbin’s commitment to embracing these recycling processes when they’re widely available.
