Secure Packing

We supply purpose-built waste bins and clearly labelled recycling bins for the safe storage of used batteries. This ensures each lithium battery is contained correctly, reducing the risk of damage, leaks, or fire before waste collection and in transport. We supply a range of sizes for various volumes of lithium battery waste.

ADR Transport

Vape batteries are classified as hazardous due to their chemical composition. Our ADR-compliant transport ensures all electrical items are moved safely and in line with UK regulations, giving your business full peace of mind throughout the process. Our transport team operates across the UK, helping businesses safely dispose of their vape waste.

Recycling & Treatment

All batteries are sent to authorised recycling centres, where they are processed to recover valuable materials. This prevents harmful substances from entering landfill and supports the safe handling of components found in small electrical waste. We can collect both large and small batteries in various volumes.
