BATTERY RECYCLING SCHEME IS A HUGE SUCCESS.
This year households and schools on the Island have collected 5,720 kgs of batteries for recycling. Since the scheme started in June 2005 a total of 18,805kgs, the equivalent 902,640 AA batteries, have been collected and sent to specialist recycling facilites.
What do we collect?
We collect single use (disposable) and rechargeable batteries used in items such as torches, cameras, electronic games, computers, hearing aids and power tools.
Where do we collect them?
Working with Manx Co-op stores, Glen Mona Garage & Stores and all four Civic Amenity Sites, we provide collection points throughout the Island. The batteries are shipped off-Island by a local company, J Costain, Scrap Metal Merchants, and sent to G&P Batteries in the West Midlands for sorting and onward recycling.
Could we have more collection points?
Yes - we are now working with other local retail outlets across the Island to provide additional battery collection points as we would like to make it even easier for the public to reach a local recycling point.
We also provide a battery recycling service for the Island's secondary schools. We are now working to progress this service to include many of the Island's Primary Schools, as we'd like help more Primary pupils and teachers to get into the recycling habit by bringing in their batteries from home.
