Take advantage of Bundaberg Regional Council’s battery recovery program to safely dispose of batteries.
All batteries are accepted for free disposal throughout the region including mixed household batteries such as alkaline, rechargeable, nickel metal hydride and nickel cadmium (excludes electric vehicle batteries).
For safe battery disposal remember:
- Tape the terminals of used batteries or bag them in a clear plastic bag.
- Drop them off at designated battery recycling points.
- Never place batteries in kerbside bins.
Battery collection boxes are located at:
- All local waste facilities
- Council Service Centres (Bundaberg, Gin Gin and Childers)
- Bundaberg Library
Larger batteries such as car batteries, power tool batteries and embedded types can be safely disposed of at Council Waste Facilities – just let staff know what you are dropping off.
