Disposal of car batteries

[crlr 10]

Can anyone tell me where we can dispose of 12 volt car batteries?, scrap man won't take them now.

[HotPhil 10]

I'm sure I've seen a pile at the local 'recycling centre'. Have a look on the council website (link through to Veolia or whatever they're called) and check.

[The_Bear 10]

Im sure your local council tip will take them.

 

If not, when I last purchased a battery from the battery shop on Shoreham Street, they took my old one. Dont know if they dispose of them in an environmental way though.

You can take them to a dump it site, they have a box for collecting them in, I guess they will recycle the lead etc in them.

anywhere in rotherham will be fine as the whole place is a dump

There is a car battery shop on the corner of Shoreham Street and Charlotte Road which has a notice in their window announcing that they will take old batteries off your hands for free.

Just been on the viola or whatever they are called this week,web site - not very clear appears more interested in spin than information perhaps someone with more patience may be able to find it but it doesnt say on the dump it site bit either it goes tells you how good they are.

That sentence really says a lot about the person that wrote it,

Aha. The Anti-Blunkett contingent continues I see. Is anything sacred?

 

Incidentally, car batteries are covered by hazardous waste regulations which means when you buy a new one the shop should take the old one or offer you some assistance in getting rid of it. Also any domestic dump-it site should have an area for batteries.

Yes thats the problem trying to find out by using the website is a waste of time it is not fit for purpose it jsut waffles on and on and on about how good they are but doesnt tell you what you want to know
