Hazardous items should never be placed in your kerbside bins, instead you can drop them for free at any of our EcoDrop Resource Recovery Centres. Items include gas bottles and canisters, all batteries, fire extinguishers, chemicals, paints and solvents.
These items pose a significant threat to the safety of our teams and members of the public when disposed of in a kerbside wheelie bin.
Please do the right thing and take them to your nearest EcoDrop Resource Recovery Centre(external link) for free, where they can be disposed of safely.
The EcoDrop Resource Recovery Centres(external link) accept the following items:
Open 7 days, 7am to 4.30pm:
Domestic quantities only.
For more information go to the EcoCentral website(external link).
Batteries contain numerous components that are bad for the environment. If put in wheelie bins, batteries can potentially harm staff and members of the public.
Collecting batteries before they deteriorate means they can be recycled appropriately, saving valuable components for reuse and reducing the risk to people and the environment.
Alternatively, you can drop these off at an EcoDrop Resource Recovery Centre(external link).
