The NSW EPA has partnered with Campbelltown City Council to trial the safe collection of products with embedded batteries at the Campbelltown CRC from September 2024 to September 2026.

Many everyday products have batteries built in that cannot be easily removed. When these items are placed in any bin, they can be crushed during collection and cause fires in trucks or waste facilities.

As part of this trial, residents can bring products with embedded batteries to the Campbelltown CRC for safe disposal.

Accepted items

• Bluetooth speakers and headphones
• Electric toothbrushes
• E-scooters, e-bikes and hover boards
• Flashing/light up toys (such as wands)
• Personal care devices (e.g. shavers)
• Power packs and portable charging devices
• Remote controlled or ride-on toys
• Vacuum cleaners (cordless or robotic)
• Vapes
• Wearable devices such as smart watches, trackers and medical aids

If the battery can be easily removed, take it out and dispose of it separately.

Never bin a battery
