WILTSHIRE Council will now be collecting household batteries as part of the Wiltshire kerbside recycling service.
A statement from the council says, “We now collect small household batteries as part of our kerbside recycling service. Put batteries in clear, sealed sandwich bags on top of your blue lidded bin and they will be collected for recycling.
“The batteries you can put out for collection are D, C, AA, AAA, 9V and button-type batteries.
“Every year hundreds of fires at waste facilities across the country are linked to batteries thrown out in the bin. Help us to stop fires and keep staff safe by never placing batteries inside your bin.”
