In the UK, only about three to five per cent of all household batteries are recycled. Most old batteries end up in landfill, where they can leak harmful chemicals into the soil. You can help tackle this problem by recycling your batteries anywhere you see the Be Positive sign.
We accept all portable batteries for recycling. Portable batteries range from AAA cells, through mobile phone batteries, to button cells used in hearing aids and watches. If we haven't supplied the batteries you can still return them to us for recycling.
Batteries from all of the following items, and many others, can be recycled: mobile phones, laptops, hearing aids, watches, portable cameras, cordless power tools, torches, electric toothbrushes, razors, hand-held vacuum cleaners
If you wish to return batteries to us for recycling then please return in person to: TheTorchSite, Brynllywarch Cottage, Kerry, Newtown, Powys SY16 4PA. We do not recommend waste batteries be sent in the post due to leakage etc.
Alternatively you can recycle your used batteries at numerous other places (they will also accept used batteries even if they haven't supplied them). Most supermarkets and shops that sell batteries will have collection bins for used batteries. Some town halls, libraries or schools may also set up collection points. Look out for the Be Positive signs in shop windows and in stores to find these collection points. Several local councils already collect batteries in the doorstep recycling collection, or provide bins at the local waste and recycling centre. Check with your local council to find out what battery recycling choices are available in your area.
Also there might be a civic amenity site near to you that accepts used batteries, to find your nearest one click here
