Battery Recycling

SITA provides a battery recycling program across Australia for the collection of used lead acid batteries (ULAB’s) from vehicles as well as common household batteries.

Battery Recycling at a Glance

To help keep common household batteries out of landfill and encourage the public to recycle batteries, SITA offers a national battery recycling service.

The battery recycling service is specifically designed to collect all forms of day-to-day household batteries. The different types of both single use batteries and rechargeable batteries that we collect are listed below.

Collection Systems

SITA provides a variety of options for the safe collection of spent batteries:

  • Collection boxes
  • Stillages for larger commercial sites

Start recycling your batteries 

The battery recycling collection container is an ideal size for workplace reception areas – so why not encourage your workplace to get involved in battery recycling.

There are three easy steps to start your battery recycling program:

  1. Call SITA on 13 13 35 and our customer service centre will deliver a battery recycling container
  2. Place the container in a prominent area of your workplace and encourage staff and visitors to fill the container with their used batteries
  3. Once the container is full, call 13 13 35 to arrange collection and a replacement container

A small charge is applied to cover collection and recycling costs.

Used Lead Acid Batteries Recycling Service

SITA collects commercial quantities of ULABs used in vehicles, generators and other machinery for recycling. Residents and small businesses can drop-off ULABs directly at our Resource Recovery Facilities located across Australia.
