9.3 Battery Disposal
When batteries reach the end of their usual life in accordance with Australian Battery Recycling Initiative please follow the
next simple steps for protecting the environment. Refer to the Automatic Technology website for information on where to
recycle batteries in Australia.
DO NOT throw the batteries in municipal waste. This symbol of the crossed out wheeled
bin indicates that the battery should not be placed in the municipal waste. Check your local
regulations for appropriate disposal of the batteries.
Recycling all batteries will have other environmental and social benefits:
WARNING! Prior to disposal, recycling, or collection, all battery terminals must be securely insulated
with a non conductive material to prevent any two batteries from short circuiting and generating
heat during storage or transport. Battery terminals may be insulated with electrical tape; or batteries
may be individually packaged in a non conductive material
(e.g., plastic bag or original packaging).

•
Use a non-metallic object
(e.g. pen) to remove the
battery.
• Some batteries are less toxic but hazardous for other
reasons. Lithium batteries can explode or catch fire in
landfill, while button cells are dangerous if swallowed
by children. Recycling offers a safe and environmentally
responsible solution for end of life batteries.
• Battery recycling recovers non-renewable materials such
as lead, cadmium, stella, zinc, manganese, cobalt, silver,
plastics and rare earth elements.
• Removal of batteries and other hazardous household
products from household waste facilitates the recovery
of organic materials through alternative waste
technologies such as composting. Batteries and heavy
metals are known contaminants in compost.
• The community supports recycling because it reduces
waste to landfill and achieves environmental benefits.
