Number of batteries saved from Landfill so far = 47 kg
This website has been designed to help find a solution to the problem of safe battery recycling in the UK.
At the moment, the only option to householders who want to dispose of their batteries in a responsible manner is for them to visit their local municipal recycling centre, which, for most of us, is impractical.
In January 2008, I was given dispensation by Cornwall County Council to collect batteries on behalf of our local parish and take them to our 'local' municipal recycling centre.
This is the first local collection service of its kind in the UK and I hope, with your support, we can duplicate this service around the county, and country, eventually making it easier for your local council to take the next leap of agreeing to collect this hazardous waste from the various local centres we have set up.
My name is Mark David Hatwood and I would be happy to answer any questions you have about this scheme, help you set one up in your own locality and help you source the necessary receptacles to do this safely.
This is a free service with no strings attached - apart from the hope that our waste be dealt with responsibly - so please feel free to contact me under info@(this domain name) and I will be more than glad to send2u the information you need to help you make a difference in your local area.
Thank you for caring.
