We at wastebatteries.co.uk recognise the impact of waste lead and acid on our environment - so where does it all go when we've all finished with it?
Hopefully not by the side of a road, or in fields or anywhere else that could contaminate and pollute our land & air.
We offer a FREE OF CHARGE (to those registered) solution and make sure that you are completely covered, safe and responsible in managing and handling hazardous waste.
We have developed battery waste management programmes to help companies and individuals meet their environmental, health, safety and recycling objectives.
ALL BATTERIES ARE RECYCLED, NEVER LAND FILLED!
 Battery Containers
These are made from a tough plastic material, waterproof, acid proof and are of a “euro-pallet” size. They stand around 900mm in height and when full contain, on average, approximately 900kg (see picture, right). They can hold in the region of 55-60 average car size batteries when completely full. The residual cost of the containers is £500 each and remains the property of wastebatteries.co.uk
