Manchester is the North West's commercial and digital capital: a city of media businesses, data centres, financial services, retail and manufacturing all generating end-of-life batteries at scale. We cover M postcodes across Greater Manchester with 12 CEF business drop-off points and ADR-trained drivers ensuring every collection is safe, documented and fully compliant. 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 Manchester businesses: lithium-ion, lead-acid, nickel-cadmium (NiCd), nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) and alkaline. We also collect batteries still inside devices and equipment where removal is not practical.
Our team is BATRRT-compliant and certified for high voltage and specialist battery systems, giving Manchester businesses access to a full-spectrum service under one contract. Fire-safe containers are available for on-site storage on request, and all collections use ADR-trained drivers in specialist vehicles.
