Battery recycling facilities
You can now recycle your used batteries
Around 600 million UK household batteries (22,000 tonnes) – the equivalent weight of 110 Jumbo Jets – are sent to landfill unnecessarily every year.
Did you know you can recycle your used batteries in the pink collection tubes at the following public buildings?
- Hammersmith Town Hall Reception
- Hammersmith Library
- Fulham Library
- Shepherd's Bush Library
- Askew Rd Library
- Baron's Court Library
- Sands End Library
- Hammersmith North Area Housing Office
- South Fulham Area Housing Office
- Fulham North Area Housing Office
- Hammersmith Information Centre
- 77 Glenthorne Road
The battery recycling tubes can now accept both:
- single use batteries ( dry cell batteries; button batteries (watch and calculator batteries) and domestic household batteries) and
- rechargeable batteries (i.e: Nickel cadmium (NiCd), Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) and lithium batteries)
Please remember that we are unable to accept any Lead Acid Batteries – industrial, motor vehicle, and computer back-up batteries, as part of this scheme.
The batteries are collected by the recycling crew and taken to Smugglers Way in Wandsworth. They are then collected and recycled by Vinton Metals. Please see their website for more information: http://www.vintonbatteries.co.uk/profile.shtml
