Battery Recycling & Disposal
Responsible Battery Recycling
At WYE, we are committed to reducing environmental impact and encouraging responsible disposal of electronic waste and batteries.
Many technology accessories contain rechargeable batteries which should never be disposed of in household waste. Batteries and electronic devices may contain materials that can be harmful to the environment if not disposed of correctly.
Why Battery Recycling Matters
Recycling batteries helps to:
- Reduce landfill waste
- Recover valuable materials
- Prevent harmful chemicals entering the environment
- Support a more sustainable electronics industry
Improper disposal of batteries can create fire risks and environmental damage.
What Can Be Recycled?
The following products should be recycled responsibly at approved collection points:
- Power banks
- Wireless chargers
- Bluetooth speakers
- Wireless earbuds and headphones
- Rechargeable batteries
- Charging accessories containing lithium batteries
Do Not Dispose of Batteries in Household Waste
Batteries and electronic products marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol must not be placed in your household trash.
Please use dedicated battery recycling facilities or electronic waste collection programs.

If a battery appears damaged, leaking, or swollen, contact your local recycling center for guidance before transporting it.
