Battery disposal in Dorset
Whilst most alkaline batteries are now considered less toxic since the use of mercury has been phased out, it is still important to ensure that they are properly disposed. Only certain types of batteries are accepted to be recycled, any others should be treated as household hazardous waste.
Lead acid batteries are always hazardous and can pose a threat to human health or the environment if they are not handled and disposed of correctly. Our Canford Recycling Centre, near Wimborne in Dorset is able to process a range of hazardous waste streams including the disposal of lead acid batteries.
