Battery Disposal Instructions
Although batteries contain lead and small amounts of antimony
and arsenic, they are safe if handled according to the accom-
panying 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 recom-
mended 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.
