Take it to a recycling centre
Your local recycling centre will accept most types of household waste, including vehicle batteries, without charge.
Some businesses – such as licensed, authorised treatment facilities (vehicle dismantlers), metal recycling companies and other waste removal / treatment companies – might accept your battery without charge in return for the value of the scrap metal.
