We have teamed up with Phoenix Metalman to provide a drop-off point for all kinds of electronic batteries in a first for Southland. Phoenix Metalman’s drop-off point is at 297 Bond St, right next to the Invercargill transfer station. Up to 20kg of batteries can be recycled there for free, (WasteNet Southland cover this cost), while anything over will be charged for. As well as the drop-off point, you can dispose of household batteries at the Mitre 10 stores in: Invercargill Te Anau Winton Gore   Battery types that can be recycled with Phoenix Metalman include: lead acid alkaline zinc household batteries lithium nickel metal hydride nickel-cadmium batteries   Please ensure batteries have no rust or corrosion, as these pose a serious fire risk and cannot be sent for recycling.
