Unfortunately, over 20,000 tonnes of batteries make their way to landfill every year, where they corrode and leach toxic chemicals into the environment. These toxins are absorbed into the soil and end up infiltrating our water supply, endangering wildlife and humans.

Make sure your batteries aren’t led astray with our quick and easy battery recycling service. All you need to do is pop your used batteries in one of our handy sacks or bins and our battery disposal team will pick them up.

When you recycle batteries with us, they are taken to a specialist company who use chemical baths and electrodes to extract chemicals from them. Then, metals such as mercury, zinc and lead are recovered and turned into new products such as batteries and lighting. Win, win!

Wondering what type of batteries you can recycle? Our battery disposal service covers a huge variety, including lithium-ion, dry cell, zinc and silver oxide, to name a few. So, no matter what batteries you use to fuel your business, you can count on First Mile to safely dispose of them once the power’s out.

Why not join us on the path to a greener future by using our simple battery recycle service? With flexible collections up to 3 times a day, 7 days a week, it really couldn’t be easier!
