Where can I take my used batteries?

BATTERIES-PNG_1.png

Batteries do not belong in the red or yellow bins. Batteries can cause fires in waste collection trucks and at the landfill, posing significant safety risks to individuals and the environment.

What you can do:

  1. Remove batteries from tools, toys, and other devices.
  2. Tape battery terminals to prevent batteries from sparking and catching fire.
  3. Store them in a jar or container at home.
  4. Take your used batteries to a recycling drop off point.

Local Battery Drop-off Points

  1. Woolworths – Look for the battery recycling bins near the entrance.
  2. Bunnings – Most stores have battery collection stations near the front.
  3. Library – Check with your local library for a battery drop-off point.
  4. Coles – Battery recycling bins may be available at the front of the store.

For more information on battery disposal and recycling programs, consult the Recycle Mate app or your local council's website.
