It is a known fact that most types of batteries have a negative impact on the environment if disposed of improperly, but there is little many people do about it.

Over the years battery manufacturers have improved their products to make them safer, however there are more eco friendly ways to get rid of batteries and battery disposal company Scrapbatts.co.uk want to tell you how.

Protecting the environment from used batteries doesn’t simply mean throwing them in a drawer or at the back of a cupboard to be forgotten about; it is about recycling batteries properly and becoming more environmentally friendly in and outside the house.

1.It is more environmentally friendly to use electrical appliances however if this is not possible it is a better idea to use rechargeable batteries- except for your fire alarm which should just be a set of batteries changed when run out. By using rechargeable batteries you can avoid producing lots of hazardous waste in the first place through the use of batteries that can be used several times.

2.Unfortunately, rechargeable batteries contain more harmful chemicals inside the battery, so it is particularly important to dispose of them properly. If you run a business and have a lot of old batteries then it would be a good idea to set up an account with Scrapbatts.co.uk who can come and collect the batteries for you and dispose of them properly.

3.If you do have a collection of old batteries lying around and wish to dispose of them properly, but never find the time too, make sure you keep them wrapped in a plastic bag in case they leak toxic chemicals.

4.Nowadays, many companies are becoming environmentally friendly and have recyclable systems already set in when you purchase a battery. If the company you bought the batteries from has not got this service then a good idea would be to use one of Scrapbatts.co.uk’s helpful vehicle services.

5.Do not mix any kind of batteries. Whether they are alkaline, Lithium Ion battery etc keep them separate. Most types of batteries require special handling for safety reasons, which cannot be recycled in the same way as that of regular household waste can.
