Recycling household batteries

You can recycle most household batteries, including coin button, household domestic and rechargeable batteries at various locations across the borough.

If a battery is leaking fluid, carefully wrap it in a plastic bag before placing it in the battery bins. 

Please note:

  • Car batteries can be recycled at most Halfords stores and at Harefield Civic Amenity Site.
  • To recycle scooter and e-bike batteries, please contact the manufacturer (or the store where you bought the product from) - they have a responsibility to take these batteries from you and to recycle them safely and responsibly.
