 This site has been set up to find a solution to the problem of safe battery recycling in the UK.
In February 2008, after six weeks of negotiations with Cornwall County Council, I was given dispensation to collect batteries on behalf of my local parish. Until that time, it was only possible to recycle batteries by taking them to your 'local' recycling centre, which for most of us is impractical.
In March 2008 a second recycling unit was set up in Mylor and in May, a third. There are more on the way from people interested in doing the same in their own community.
My name is Mark David Hatwood and, should you be interested in setting up a scheme like this in your area, I would be please to hear from you. This is a free service with no strings attached - except the wish to see these potentially toxic materials dealt with in a responsible manner and not ending up in landfill. With your help, we can tackle this problem head-on both locally and the UK as a whole.
Thank you for caring.
Latest Update: We currently have fifteen units in place with another twelve in planning. Each unit is currently collecting an average of 10kgs of batteries per month.
The total number of batteries saved from landfill up to the 8th August 2008 is 230 kgs!
