Lucas Batteries UK is committed to helping reduce the environmental impact of waste batteries by encouraging responsible recycling.
Batteries should never be disposed of in household waste. They contain valuable materials that can be recovered and substances that should be recycled safely.

If you are replacing your battery, please recycle your old one responsibly.
