Medcycle operates its battery recycling programs to the highest standards of fire safety, storage and handling issued by Work Safe, EPA and Fire Rescue currently on offer in the market, together with its recovery rate by chemistry.We collect boxes and bags (inners) from sites on an agreed schedule or ad hoc as required based on fill rates. We will then transport them to our facility for sortation into the various chemistries, prior to final recycling through to certification.
Batteries are collected in specialised boxes with fireproof liners. Collection of these are booked on request.
Medcycle consists of a team of dedicated industry professionals with extensive experience in waste and recycling, logistics, training and education, stakeholder engagement and sustainability reporting.
We work with you to educate staff, using educational material tailored to your specific needs. We also focus on continued learning and education so that staff remain aware of and keep up to date with program changes.
Absolute transparency is what we are all about. We only offer services where viable end markets exist for recovered materials, and our detailed service reporting provides real time access to data and information that can be used to support sustainability reporting.
Used batteries can’t be recycled in your regular recycling bin. In fact, contaminating your recycling bin with non-recyclable items can mean it all gets sent to landfill! Putting used batteries in your regular rubbish bin can cause sparks and landfill fires. All batteries eventually corrode, and their hazardous contents leach out of landfill and into our soils and waterways, causing damage to wildlife and people.
