Smoke detectors

Smoke detectors with removable batteries

Please remove batteries from smoke detectors and dispose the smoke detector in your general waste bin. Batteries should never be placed in any household or street bins, as they can cause fires in waste vehicles and facilities. 

You can drop off household batteries (or smoke detectors with batteries stuck inside them) at one of our five e-waste recycling stations, located at every Glen Eira Library and Moorleigh Community Village. Or search for other battery drop-off points at major retailers near you through Bcycle. 

Smoke detectors with batteries that are not removable 

If the batteries are not removable from the smoke detector, please dispose of the entire smoke detector at one of our e-waste recycling stations during Glen Eira Library opening hours. Please do not put the item in any of your household bins.

Commercial smoke detectors

Commercial smoke detectors are required to be returned to the seller for safe disposal.
