Batteries and textiles

Batteries

Most batteries end up in landfill where their hazardous material can leach into the soil and cause harm. It is much more environmentally friendly to recycle batteries in a safe, correct manner.

Batteries contain a range of metals which, when extracted, can be reused as secondary raw materials.

We now offer a recycling service for batteries. Please place batteries in a separate carrier bag next to your recycling bin, but not in it. Do not use black bin liners. We will then collect your batteries when we collect your recycling.

Please note: we cannot collect industrial or automotive batteries.

Textiles

Textiles can be recycled at your local Household Waste Recycling Site and at some Neighbourhood Recycling Points.
