Batteries

Batteries can not be recycled at the moment. Collection bins have been placed at the recycling points, so that the disposable and rechargeable batteries that are a part of toxic waste could be efficiently collected for further treatment. From the links listed below can be found those recycling points in the areas according to the postal code, where there is a collection bin for the batteries:

40100	40200	40250	40320	40340	40400
40500	40520	40530	40600	40630	40640
40660	40700	40720	40740	40900

Regardless of their labelling, please, take all disposable and rechargeable batteries to the collection bin at the recycling point and if they can not fit in the bin, take them to the recycling point for toxic waste.

Household appliances, like electric toothbrush, shaver and mobile phones often has a rechargeable battery inside them that is considered toxic waste.

The following must not be placed in the collection bin for batteries:

• Light bulbs and fuses -> non-recyclable waste bin,
• Fluorescent tubes and energy efficient light bulbs -> recycling point for toxic waste,
• Thermometers with quicksilver -> the pharmacy.
