NiCd Battery Recycling & Disposal Services

Safe, compliant collections and disposal of NiCd batteries from commercial use.

Secure Packing of Batteries

Our team provides professional on-site packing of NiCd batteries to ensure every battery is stored and transported securely. Whether you’re dealing with damaged, end-of-life, or mixed battery types, we make sure your waste is packed to meet all transport and environmental regulations.

Efficient Collections

Once your batteries are safely packed, we’ll take care of the rest. Our nationwide collection service offers both scheduled and one-off pickups, depending on your needs. Collected batteries are transported to approved recycling facilities, where materials are safely recovered and reused.

Recycling & Reuse

All the batteries we collect are safely processed and recycled, ensuring valuable materials are repurposed and introduced back into the market. Where recycling isn't possible, we prioritise responsible reprocessing methods and waste-to-energy solutions.

NiCd battery types that we recycle

Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) batteries are widely used in industrial equipment, emergency lighting, medical devices, and power tools. We collect various types of NiCd batteries, such as:

NiMH Button / Coin Cells

Including sensors, medical devices, memory backup, portable electronics.

Nickel–Rare Earth Alloy (LaNi₅-based)

Common in consumer batteries, cameras, toys, handheld electronics.

Nickel–Transition Metal Alloy (Ti/Zr-based)

Used in hybrid vehicles (HEVs), e-bikes, industrial tools, backup systems.

High-Temperature NiMH

Common in emergency lighting, aerospace, defence, standby power.

How are NiCd batteries recycled?

The recycling process for NiCd batteries involves several carefully controlled stages designed to separate and purify the metals for new industrial applications.

Used batteries are placed in secure waste containers to prevent leaks for transport. The batteries are then identified and separated from other chemistries.

The batteries are dismantled using specialised processes, and materials such as nickel, cadmium, and plastic are separated.

Cadmium is refined and reused in industrial applications, whilst nickel is recycled into new stainless steel and alloys. Plastics are also processed and repurposed for new products.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Are NiCad batteries hazardous?

Yes. Cadmium is toxic and harmful to the environment, which is why nickel cadmium battery disposal must be handled by licensed recycling companies.

Can NiCd batteries be fully recycled?

Yes, both nickel and cadmium can be recovered and reused, while plastics are also recyclable.

Do you provide containers for used NiCd batteries?

Yes, we offer compliant battery waste containers to store NiCd batteries safely before collection.

Do you issue compliance documentation?

Yes, all collections and disposals come with the necessary paperwork to meet UK hazardous waste regulations.
