Old Car Battery Recycling & Removal
Old car battery to dispose of? We take away and recycle every battery we replace, and can collect standalone.
Every battery we fit includes take-away and proper recycling of the old unit. We work with licensed lead-acid recyclers who recover ~99% of the material, lead, plastic, acid, for re-use.
We can also do standalone collection: if you've got a garage full of old batteries from a home project or fleet clear-out, we'll take them off your hands.
