CenturyYuasa

On road to a cleaner future

CenturyYuasa, Australia's oldest and most recognised automotive battery manufacturer has established a network of Battery Recycling Centres designed to help reduce the impact of scrap batteries and help protect the environment for future generations.

The scheme provides motorists, homeowners and businesses with a network of approved battery recycling centres where used lead acid batteries can be returned for recycling, free of charge.

Scrap batteries contain hazardous metals and corrosive acid which if not handled and disposed of properly can be harmful to humans, wildlife and the local environment.

Steve Hermann, General Manager of CenturyYuasa's Automotive division says:

"As a responsible business it is important that we manage the ‘cradle to grave' process of manufacture, distribution and responsible disposal of used batteries.

In many cases we have found that people are simply unaware of how or where to dispose of their used batteries correctly and as a result we often see batteries discarded with household waste, at local refuse sites or dumped on road sides.

Our program is a total battery management solution, designed to provide the consumer with a service to help alleviate environmental issues in line with our product stewardship."
