Battery recycling collections

BatteriesYou can now recycle household batteries, using our weekly collection service.

You just need to put your old household batteries in a clear plastic bag - like a sandwich bag.

Then put them on top of your blue lid recycling bin on your normal collection day.

The following batteries can be recycled:

  • AA and AAA batteries (commonly used in TV remote controls, cameras)
  • 6V and 9V batteries
  • C and D batteries
  • Laptop batteries
  • Mobile phone and MP3 player batteries
  • Button batteries
  • Hearing aid batteries

No car or industrial batteries please.

Car or industrial batteries should be taken to the Household Recycling Centre in Oldbury.
