Disposal of Used Batteries
Under the Waste Batteries Regulation batteries are not allowed to go to landfill or be incinerated so cannot be included with ordinary refuse and must now be sent for recycling.
Automotive Batteries: producers placing automotive batteries on the UK market must offer collection of these batteries from a final holder of batteries should a request be made. Under the regualtions the final holder is defined as someone who in the normal course of their business removes batteries from automotive vehicles. Free collection does not include that from private customers who can dispose of batteries at civic amenity sites.
To comply with the Waste Batteries Regulation all Iveco Dealers will take back qualifying automotive batteries at no cost to the final holder.
Industrial Batteries: Iveco Ltd does not place these types of batteries on the UK market.
Portable Batteries: collection points are available at places such as larger supermarkets and shops, DIY stores as well as civic amenity sites.
