Household batteries are a significant source of contamination in landfill due to the chemicals and other materials used, and may also cause tip fires which are very difficult to contain.
Benalla is fortunate to have a number of businesses who are participating in battery recycling; some of these include Vinnies, Aldi, Woolworths and Benalla Windscreens, but you may know of others. Car and truck batteries of course can be taken to the Benalla Recycling and Resource Recovery Centre for disposal.
It’s not difficult to collect used batteries in a small bag for dropping off at one of these locations whenever convenient.
