Never bin a battery. Batteries are not allowed in any household bin because they are a fire hazard. Domestic batteries can be recycled at our e-waste recycling hubs, located at all Glen Eira Libraries and Moorleigh Community Village. Other types of batteries can be disposed of at waste transfer stations.

Household batteries
Household batteries (e.g. AA, AAA, C, D, 9V and button) can be recycled at our e-waste recycling hubs, located at all Glen Eira Libraries and Moorleigh Community Village. Household batteries can also be recycled at participating B-cycle locations. B-cycle is Australia's national battery stewardship scheme.
E-bike, e-scooter, car batteries and other large batteries
E-bike batteries can be recycled at Waste Transfer Stations. Transfer stations typically require that batteries are separated from their devices. Only some transfer stations can accept devices with irremovable batteries. We always recommend calling the station before you go, to ensure the items you are dropping off will be accepted.
Please note: Batteries should not go in any household bin.
Reuse tip: Where possible, opt for rechargeable batteries over single-use.
