Dry-Cell Battery Recycling Program

Around 18 million batteries go to landfill in Western Australia every year. Dry-cell batteries make up about 60% of those batteries.

Batteries contain non-renewable minerals and metals. By separating batteries from your ordinary household rubbish so they don't go to landfill, you'll enable these precious resources to be reused in a range of products rather than go to waste.

Some batteries still contain heavy metals which could be harmful to health and wildlife if they break down and leak into the environment. Preventing the batteries from going directly into landfill by participating in the dry-cell battery recycling program will remove this risk.

How can I recycle my household batteries?

• Store your batteries in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area
• Drop your batteries off at a battery recycle bin - refer to local collection points
• Place your batteries loose into the battery recycle bin
• Batteries will be collected when the bins are filled and transported for recycling
