Wiltshire Council is now collecting small batteries as part of the kerbside recycling scheme.
From 5 December, residents have been able put small household batteries in clear, sealed sandwich bags on top of their blue lidded bin and they will be collected for recycling.
The batteries are 'D', 'C', 'AA', 'AAA', 9V and button-type batteries, and these will be kept separate from other recyclable materials on board the vehicles. Batteries shouldn't be put in bins: WC does not want phone batteries etc.
