FAQs

How does the service work?
Join the free waiting list. When the service launches, members receive a battery collection box, keep accepted household batteries in it, and book onto a scheduled collection round in their area.
What batteries can go in the box?
Common household batteries — AA, AAA, C, D, 9V, button, rechargeable household and small device batteries. Final acceptance and storage guidance will be confirmed at launch.
How many collections do I get?
Up to 4 booked collections per year, with one household collection box per membership.
How big is each collection?
Up to one full household battery box per collection — approximately 3kg of mixed household batteries.
Is the service live yet?
Not yet — Eco Waste Care is in pre-launch. Joining the waiting list is free and does not start a membership or require payment.
How much will it cost?
A small annual membership fee will apply. Full membership pricing will be announced before launch.
Can I use it for car batteries?
No. The household service is not for car batteries, large lead-acid, industrial or oversized commercial batteries. Businesses can register interest on our business page.
