Battery Disposal Instructions
Although batteries contain lead and small amounts of antimony and arsenic, they are
safe if handled according to the accompanying guide. The battery cells must not be
dismantled as this involves several hazards, which are best handled under controlled
conditions, using specialised equipment. No attempt should be made to repair any
batteries; they should be treated as disposable when they have outlived their use.
Batteries must be disposed of in accordance with current waste disposal and pollution
legislation and in particular; The Environment Protection Act 1990, Special Waste
Regulation 1996. It is recommended that the following authorities are contacted before
any attempt is made to dispose of batteries; Environment Agency Local office, Local
Authority Environmental Health or Waste Handling department.
