What we accept
We are alkaline specialists. That focus is what lets us price well and recover as much as we do, and it means some chemistries belong somewhere else.

Packing and terminal protection
Alkaline cells are among the safest batteries to move, provided terminals cannot touch.
Protect the terminals
Tape terminals with non conductive tape, or bag cells individually. This is the one requirement that matters most.
Keep chemistries apart
Alkaline on its own. If your collection bins are mixed, tell us before the load moves and we will advise.
Nothing damaged
Swollen, leaking or damaged cells need separate handling. Contact us first rather than including them.
Not sure what you have? Send us a photograph and we will tell you.
Have a load of spent alkaline batteries?
Tell us the volume, the chemistry and where it is sitting. We will come back with pricing and freight guidance.
