Got old batteries taking up space? Battery scrap in Melbourne has never been this easy. Whether it’s a flat car battery in the garage, a stack of old forklift batteries on-site, or a box of household cells that have seen better days, JMR makes it simple to dispose of them safely and get paid in the process.
At Johnny Metal Recycling, we handle battery scrap from collecting, recycling, and paying you on the spot, every time.
Why Does Responsible Disposal of Battery Scrap in Melbourne Actually Matter?
Batteries aren’t like ordinary scrap. They include dangerous chemicals like sulphuric acid, lead, and lithium, which can seriously damage channels and the soil if they are piled up on the land for a long time.
The trained and experienced recyclers of JMR handle the recycling of the batteries carefully and process the materials appropriately. It benefits your property, community, and environment, while JMR ensures you’re fairly paid.
Every Battery Type We Accept
JMR collects batteries from homes, vehicles, businesses, and industrial sites. We collect and recycle all types and quantities responsibly.
Truck & Car Batteries —
We collect lead-acid batteries from your vehicles to recycle and reuse them. They contain recoverable lead and acid that hold real value when processed correctly.
Forklift Batteries —
Heavy-duty forklift batteries are large in size and include chemicals, so careful handling is mandatory. JMR recyclers collect them for proficient recycling. We carefully prevent hazardous materials from reaching unsafe hands.
Excavator and Heavy Equipment Batteries —
Heavy-duty construction batteries require specialist recycling for safe recovery. We safely manage collection and processing end-to-end.
Lithium-Ion Batteries —
These sorts of batteries are found in almost every modern electronic device and power-driven vehicle. They are valuable but demand careful handling.
Household Batteries —
AA, AAA, rechargeable, and button-cell batteries may seem small, but in volume they add up — both in environmental risk and recyclable value. We accept household battery scrap in Melbourne as part of our broader collection service.
Why do batteries still have real cash value?
Old doesn’t mean worthless. Most batteries, particularly lead-acid types, contain a significant amount of recoverable material that the recycling market actively wants.
Lead —
One of the most commonly recycled materials in the world, lead from automotive and industrial batteries, is in constant demand and commands a solid market price.
Sulphuric Acid —
We neutralize the acid first that is available inside the lead-acid batteries. Then we repurpose them for safe disposal. It is cost-effective as well as practical.
Lithium and Rare Metals —
Lithium-ion batteries contain materials like lithium, cobalt, and nickel — all of which have strong global demand as the electric vehicle market continues to grow.
Plastic Casings —
Even the outer housing of most batteries is recyclable, meaning very little goes to waste when batteries are processed through a responsible recycler.
