In the UK, only about three to five per cent of all household batteries are recycled. Many old batteries end up in landfill, where they can leak harmful chemicals into the soil. You can help tackle this problem by recycling your batteries.

Here at Swanmore College we now have collection bins for used batteries to make it easier and more convenient for residents of the local community and our users to safely dispose of old batteries in a safe way.

Simply drop your used batteries into reception!
