-
It is illegal for batteries to go in any of your household bins. Batteries are a fire risk and not only are they toxic, but they also contain valuable material that can only be recovered by a specialist processor.
Other recycling options:
Batteries, including car batteries, should be taken to a Household Waste Recycling Centre (except Gainsborough).Alternatively, many shops which sell batteries offer facilities to return them for recycling. - Household waste recycling centre
