Can I recycle it? Yes, through a battery or e-waste recycling programme.
Why? Power banks contain rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that can cause fires if incorrectly disposed of.
How should I dispose of it?
- Do not place in any kerbside bin.
- Store safely until you can recycle it.
- Take it to an approved e-waste collection point.
What happens next? The battery and electronic components are separated and processed for recycling.
Top Tip - Treat power banks the same way you would treat a lithium battery.
