Recycle your batteries and low energy light
bulbs
Knowsley residents can now recycle their used
batteries and low energy light bulbs at any of the Council’s
one stop
shops.
Recycling containers have been installed at
Knowsley’s One Stop Shops at Kirkby, Prescot, Huyton and
Halewood.
This initiative will help divert the hazardous
materials used in bulbs and batteries away from landfill and help
Knowsley recycle more of its household waste.
Any type of small battery can be recycled,
including button batteries, 9v, AAA, AA, C, D and 6V. Recycled
batteries are sent to treatment facilities where they are
taken apart and used to create new
batteries or products. The glass, plastic and mercury from low
energy light bulbs can also be recycled for reuse.
