Leicester is one of the UK's most commercially diverse cities: a hub for manufacturing, logistics, retail, food production and a growing technology sector, all generating end-of-life batteries. We cover LE postcodes across Leicester and Leicestershire with 5 CEF business drop-off points and ADR-trained drivers for safe, documented battery disposal. We collect from businesses only, not households.
One contract for every battery chemistry, with ADR-trained drivers, battery containers available on request and full Duty of Care paperwork on every collection.
Waste Experts collects all battery types from Leicester businesses: lithium-ion, lead-acid, NiCd, NiMH and alkaline, from commercial and industrial sources. We also collect batteries still inside devices where removal is not practical, and handle vape waste containing lithium batteries.
Our team is BATRRT-compliant and certified for high voltage and specialist battery systems. Fire-safe containers are available for on-site storage on request, and all collections use ADR-trained drivers. Find out more on our battery recycling service page.
Get in touch with your Leicester postcode and a description of your battery waste. We confirm a collection window and, if you need them, arrange suitable containers on request.
If you use our containers, fill them at your pace; otherwise we simply collect batteries you have already packaged. When you're ready, we collect and return every required compliance document once disposal is complete.
Every battery collection includes waste transfer notes, Duty of Care certificates, recycling certificates and audit-ready records retained for the legally required period.
We collect all battery chemistries under one contract. No need to manage multiple collectors for different battery types. One point of contact, one set of paperwork.
UK-wide battery collections with flexible scheduling. From a single box of portables to a multi-site industrial clearance, we coordinate everything with minimal disruption to your operations.
CO2 savings, recycling rates and landfill diversion data through our online portal, ready for ESG reports, ISO 14001 audits and tender submissions.
Battery disposal compliance shouldn't be your team's problem. Leicester businesses trust us to supply containers on request, collect on schedule and file every consignment note, so nothing falls through the cracks on your side.
Every battery collection comes with a Duty of Care transfer note, waste consignment note, and chain of custody certificate. Your compliance trail is complete before we leave your site.
We can supply battery containers for you to store waste in safely between collections, or simply collect batteries you have already packaged. Lithium-ion batteries are handled as dangerous goods.
Lithium-ion, lead-acid, NiCd, NiMH, alkaline, batteries in devices, vape waste. One booking covers every chemistry your business generates, with a single Duty of Care document covering all of it.
