Many risks to the health and safety of everyone involved, as well as any damages to your property, can be avoided in choosing a compliant battery recycling partner from Wayst to do the job for you.

Because of the hazardous nature of a lot of the materials that batteries are made of, there are numerous risks created when they are not properly disposed of. These risks can often start with the producer of waste - you. Putting your used batteries in with general waste can be a very irresponsible way of disposing of them as typically general waste is taken straight to landfill by your local council. Batteries in the general garbage put the health and safety of anyone handling the waste on your behalf at risk as they can cause fires and explosions with the chemicals and materials inside them. Lithium batteries often found in laptops and mobile phones, for example, are major fire hazards if they overheat or are punctured - something that they are much more susceptible to when put in general trash where it is common to find refuse with sharp edges. Fires like this caused by lithium batteries can lead to explosions, an even more serious risk to the health and safety of everyone involved in the process, and anyone nearby.

The toxic chemicals and heavy metals inside most batteries risk being emitted into ecosystems and bodies of water if batteries are illegally dumped by an unauthorised service provider. It is important to recycle batteries properly to mitigate this risk, who can follow correct procedures and legislation responsibly to have a positive impact on the environment. Additionally, batteries thrown into the general garbage that go on to be incorrectly disposed of in landfills can lead to the release of the toxic chemicals inside them into groundwater as well as the environment surrounding the landfill site.

The risks in improper battery recycling do not just start at the end of the process when they are disposed of, there are inherent risks in the manufacturing of new batteries too, which is in higher demand the less batteries are recycled. Substantial volumes of pollutants are emitted into the atmosphere in this process, contributing to the greenhouse effect.
