overview
ACE aims to reduce the number of batteries being disposed of as municipal solid waste through our comprehensive battery recycling services. Batteries contain heavy metals and toxic chemicals that pose serious environmental and health risks when improperly disposed of in landfills. Our certified recycling processes safely extract valuable materials while preventing hazardous substances from contaminating soil and groundwater.
We currently accept and process alkaline, lead acid, lithium button, nickel cadmium, and lithium-ion batteries. Our specialised facility handles everything from household batteries to electric and hybrid vehicle battery systems, providing complete chain of custody documentation and environmental compliance reporting for our clients.
Alkaline Batteries
Standard household batteries (AA, AAA, C, D, 9V) used daily in millions of devices.
Common household batteries found in remote controls, toys, and portable devices. While alkaline batteries contain less toxic materials than other battery types, proper recycling still recovers valuable zinc and manganese while preventing mercury contamination in older battery types.
Lead Acid Batteries
Heavy-duty batteries powering cars, trucks, boats, and backup power systems.
Automotive and industrial batteries containing lead plates and sulfuric acid electrolyte. Lead acid batteries are highly recyclable with over 95% of materials recovered including lead, plastic cases, and acid for reprocessing into new batteries or other products.
Lithium Button Batteries
Tiny coin batteries keeping watches, calculators, and medical devices running.
Small coin-shaped batteries used in watches, hearing aids, and electronic devices. These batteries contain valuable lithium and require specialised handling due to fire risk. Our certified processes safely recover lithium while preventing environmental contamination.
Lithium-Ion Batteries
Rechargeable batteries powering phones, laptops, power tools, and electric vehicles.
High-value batteries from smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles containing lithium, cobalt, and nickel. These critical materials are in high demand for new battery production, making lithium-ion recycling essential for sustainable battery supply chains.
Nickel Cadmium Batteries
Older rechargeable batteries still found in cordless tools and emergency equipment.
Rechargeable batteries commonly found in power tools and emergency lighting systems. Cadmium is highly toxic and regulated, making proper recycling critical. Our processes safely extract nickel and cadmium for reuse while preventing environmental contamination.
