Types of Batteries We Recycle
We recycle a wide range of commercial batteries, including AA batteries, button cells, lead-acid, lithium-ion, nickel-cadmium, alkaline, and zinc-based types.
Batteries are found everywhere in a typical business, from lead-acid batteries in vehicles to lithium-ion batteries in mobile phones. Simply throwing well-used batteries away can be extremely dangerous, especially if they are rechargeable. Batteries are classified as hazardous waste, so they must be disposed of correctly to avoid harming the environment and causing potential risks such as chemical burns and fires.
Our Recycling Process in Action
We recycle batteries through a process that meets strict UK environmental regulations, with every step recorded in the customer portal. Used batteries are collected, sorted, and sent to licensed recycling facilities for proper disposal, ensuring that all batteries are recycled to maintain environmental safety and compliance. Hazardous and toxic chemicals are treated safely to prevent any contamination of soil and water.
Better Battery Waste Handling
Commercial battery recycling benefits your business and the environment by reducing landfill waste and preventing toxic chemical leaks, such as those containing lithium and nickel. It recovers valuable raw materials for reuse in new batteries, supporting a circular economy and reducing demand for virgin resources.
Batteries contain a variety of toxic chemicals and heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. These chemicals can pose serious health hazards if they are allowed to leach into the environment or come into direct contact with people.
Battery disposal compliance and safety
Our tailored approach to commercial battery recycling focuses on the key compliance needs of businesses, ensuring safer workplaces, minimising environmental risks, and maintaining full traceability of waste batteries. We provide reliable collections, clear and transparent documentation, and ongoing support to help businesses effectively meet their regulatory obligations.
Our advice covers safe storage, handling, and disposal to reduce fire risk and prevent shorting incidents. Additionally, we offer general guidance to help businesses understand and implement suitable risk assessments for battery storage and disposal.

What types of businesses need battery recycling services?
Any business that uses batteries, whether in machinery, vehicles, laptops, or devices, must recycle them responsibly. Manufacturers, engineering firms, logistics providers, and commercial facilities all generate battery waste that needs compliant recycling and disposal.

These can release harmful chemicals and cause harmful environmental contamination or fires if not handled correctly.

How should I store waste batteries on site?
To store batteries for recycling safely, use designated containers or battery recycling boxes that prevent short circuits and damage. Keep different battery types separate, cover terminals, and store them in a cool, dry, and ventilated area away from heat sources.
