Disposing of Chemicals and Hazardous Waste

Don't Bin Batteries

Batteries must never go in household bins.

It only takes one battery to spark a fire. When batteries are compressed and crushed in waste collection trucks and facilities, they can spark fires putting staff lives, collection trucks, facilities, and the environment at risk.

Drop off eligible household batteries for free. There are several B-cycle drop off points conveniently located around Goulburn. B-cycle is a national, Government-backed battery recycling scheme. Find your closest B-cycle drop off point at bcycle.com.au.

For added safety when storing used batteries, you may want to consider the following:

  • Tape the ends (terminals) of used batteries to prevent them sparking and catching fire.
  • Store used batteries in a fire resistant container in a cool dry place away from heat sources like stoves.
  • Keep batteries away from children, especially small batteries that can be swallowed.
  • Batteries contain toxic materials and should always be handled safely.

Learn about battery safety at B-cycle. For battery related enquiries please contact B-cycle via email at contact@bcycle.com.au or call 1300 853 820.
