Battery Types Collected
Used batteries from cars, machinery and even solar systems contain valuable materials like lead and acid compounds, but they’re also considered dangerous goods if left unattended.
That’s why it’s important to get rid of them properly. Most batteries aren’t accepted in your regular bin, and dumping them isn’t just bad for the environment—it’s illegal. Instead, we offer a safer, more convenient option. We pick up batteries directly from your home, farm or workshop and make sure they’re sent to proper recycling facilities.
Whether you’ve got one old car battery or a stack of them from years of maintenance jobs, we’ll sort it out. Just let us know what’s ready to go and we’ll handle the rest—safely, quickly and without any stress.
Can car batteries be recycled?
Yes, car batteries are one of the most commonly recycled battery types. They contain lead, plastic and acid that can all be reused when handled correctly. Recycling prevents these materials from ending up in landfill, where they can leak harmful chemicals into the soil and water. Most scrap collection services will accept standard lead-acid car batteries for proper disposal and often pay you based on weight.
What types of batteries are accepted for recycling?
Most scrap metal and battery recyclers accept lead-acid batteries, which are found in cars, trucks, motorbikes, and some heavy equipment. Some may also accept lithium-ion or deep-cycle batteries from solar systems and tools, but availability depends on local regulations and recycling capabilities. Always check with your collector if you have non-standard battery types.
Is it dangerous to store old batteries?
Yes, storing old or damaged batteries can pose risks such as acid leakage, corrosion, or even fire in some cases. Lead-acid batteries, in particular, can leak sulphuric acid over time, damaging surfaces and posing a health risk. It’s best to keep them off the ground, away from heat, and arrange for prompt recycling.
