Recycling – Battery Recycling
When recycling your batteries, please place them in a clear plastic bag, so they can easily be seen by our crews in your recycling box and put in the correct compartment in the vehicles.
This helps prevent fire risk in our vehicles, at our depot and the Energy from Waste Plant (EFW) in Exeter.
Please do not put your batteries inside a cardboard box or wrap them in paper, as they can get missed and mixed up with paper and cardboard in the recycling vehicle, the depot and the plant.
Please visit our website for further information relating to recycling and disposal at: https://eastdevon.gov.uk/recycling-and-waste/recycling-and-waste-information/a-z-of-recycling-and-disposals/
Thank you for recycling your batteries with care, to help prevent risk to our staff, vehicles, depot and plant.
