Battery Recycling & Disposal

Responsible Battery Recycling

At WYE, we are committed to reducing environmental impact and encouraging responsible disposal of electronic waste and batteries.

Many technology accessories contain rechargeable batteries which should never be disposed of in household waste. Batteries and electronic devices may contain materials that can be harmful to the environment if not disposed of correctly.


Why Battery Recycling Matters

Recycling batteries helps to:

  • Reduce landfill waste
  • Recover valuable materials
  • Prevent harmful chemicals entering the environment
  • Support a more sustainable electronics industry

Improper disposal of batteries can create fire risks and environmental damage.


What Can Be Recycled?

The following products should be recycled responsibly at approved collection points:

  • Power banks
  • Wireless chargers
  • Bluetooth speakers
  • Wireless earbuds and headphones
  • Rechargeable batteries
  • Charging accessories containing lithium batteries


Do Not Dispose of Batteries in Household Waste

Batteries and electronic products marked with the crossed-out wheelie bin symbol must not be placed in standard household bins.

Please use dedicated battery recycling facilities or electronic waste collection schemes.

Safe Battery Disposal Guidance

Before recycling:

  • Do not puncture, crush, or damage batteries
  • Keep batteries away from heat or fire
  • If possible, tape over battery terminals to reduce fire risk
  • Store damaged or swollen batteries carefully and away from flammable materials
  • Never dispose of lithium batteries in general waste

If a battery appears damaged, leaking, or swollen, contact your local recycling centre for guidance before transport.


WEEE Compliance

WYE supports the UK Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations.

These regulations help ensure electrical products and batteries are collected, treated, and recycled responsibly to reduce environmental impact.


Our Commitment

We are continually working to:

  • Reduce unnecessary packaging
  • Improve product longevity
  • Encourage responsible recycling
  • Support sustainable disposal practices
