Our Services
Never put batteries inside any of your bins as they get damaged by the crusher inside the lorry and cause fires.
All types of small portable household battery can be put in a small, tied plastic bag and placed on top of your blue, green or black bin lid for kerbside collection.
Please do not leave batteries on top of large shared bins.
Batteries of all kinds can be taken to Household Recycling Centres.
