As I said

i agree that waste is only waste when marked as such. all kit inc batteries needs to be tested by a specially trained operative when it is returned to the office. what failes after initial onsite tests is waste some is returned to 2nd hand stock etc.

09 Wings & Wheels, North Weald Model Air show (Essex - ever get a chance go with the kids simply brilliant day out ),

chatting about batteries to a vendor, spotted he sold new 7ah batteries, mentioned he used to buy them used from alarm companies and knock them out cheap to modal car enthusiasts, apparently he'd test them, and many were still good enough for charging up the cars/boats from.

but WEE issues, stopped him doing it

We are good boys

Registered as waste carriers and the office is a registered waste site

All batteries are stored in a container which is collected when full

All weee waste is stored in another container which again is collected when full

Oh and we now charge a small fee of £1.50 for disposal. If you take your car in for a service they charge to dispose of the old oil. If you have new tyres fitted they charge to dispose of your old tyre !!

We keep within the regs and have never had a complaint for charging for it !!

yes you can charge however you cant charge domestic customers

so basicaly no ones doing it correctly?

assuming AG is also leaving the batteries (accumulators rather than AA Duracells) for the end user to "bring back"

What's wrong with leaving the battery for the client to dispose of?

I have created this topic.

Not that we do domestic work but why cant you charge a domestic customer?
