If you would like a quotation for Battery Recycling then please do not hesitate to contact us.
Recycled batteries are first sorted into different types – lithium, alkaline, lead cell, mercury button – each type is recycled differently.
Lead acid batteries (mainly used for car batteries) and mercury button cell batteries (flat, round, silver batteries found in watches) are fully recycled in the UK.
Lithium and alkaline batteries (AA, AAA and 9v batteries) are partly recycled in the UK. They are then sent to plants abroad for the rest of the process.
Other types of battery are sent abroad, as the UK does not currently have plants that can recycle these, this will change in the future as recycling rates continue to increase in this country.
