Batteries should never be disposed of in the garbage or recycling bin. Rechargeable and lithium-ion batteries are dangerous because they can spark, starting a fire in the vehicles or recycling facility. Batteries for laptops, cell phones, power tools, and cameras fall under this group. To avoid fires, tape the battery terminals using adhesive tape. In Australia, where 3.3 million kg of lithium-ion battery trash are produced annually, less than 2% of that garbage gets recycled. 95 percent of the time, if we turn the battery over and begin recycling, the parts can be utilised again.

Prepare your batteries for recycling

  • Before putting used batteries in the recycling bin, it is advised that you tape them because they could still be partially charged and spark, posing a fire risk.
  • Clear adhesive tape, non-conductive wiring tape, or duct tape can be used to seal off the exposed battery terminal or the top and bottom surfaces of button cell batteries.
  • If you're not utilising a clear tape, kindly take care to maintain the transparency of the battery label.

How to dispose the batteries securely

Recycling different types of batteries

Batteries for automobiles : Since they contain lead-acid, batteries for automobiles cannot be discarded or placed in a recycling container. Car battery retailers frequently accept used or dead batteries. You can also dispose of them or recycle them at facilities that handle hazardous garbage.

Alkaline Batteries : Alkaline batteries are frequently used in the vast majority of regular battery-powered items, including flashlights, toys, remote controls, and smoke alarms. They come in a variety of sizes, ranging from AAA to 9 volts. There will be local laws on how to get dispose of alkaline batteries.

Since 1996, the majority of alkaline batteries have been made with generally non-hazardous, trash-recyclable ingredients. Contrastingly, alkaline batteries are classified as hazardous waste in a number of cities and states. Always recycle the batteries or dispose of them at a designated location.

You can recycle alkaline batteries at the community centre, recycling site, or electronics store in your neighbourhood.

Lithium Ion Batteries : These are the several battery types that power devices including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and digital cameras. Lithium-ion batteries can be given to resellers and recyclers, recycled at a recycling facility, or collected with other hazardous waste.
