lithium battery recycling sydney

Recycling lithium batteries in Sydney is mercifully simple—just don’t put them in the kerbside bin unless you fancy fireworks.

Take household and power‑tool lithium cells to NSW Community Recycling Centres or council depots, and to B‑cycle partner sites like many Officeworks, ALDI and Bunnings; Battery World also accepts a wide range.

Bag or tape terminals, keep them cool and dry, and never toss damaged cells in general waste.

Large packs (e‑bike or EV) need dealer or specialist recyclers—definitely not a DIY boot‑drop scenario.

Check local council or NSW EPA guidance for the nearest approved drop‑off and any limits by size or chemistry.
