Lithium Battery Disposal Services
Trust Island Junk Solutions to properly dispose of your lithium batteries
Why Lithium Batteries Require Special Handling
Lithium batteries power many of the tools and devices we rely on daily, but when they no longer hold a charge, the last thing you want to do is throw them in the trash. Lithium batteries are highly flammable when damaged, and improper disposal can cause fires in garbage trucks, transfer stations, and recycling facilities. Island Junk Solutions picks up your old lithium batteries and ensures they’re properly handled, transported, and recycled.
Why Lithium Battery Recycling is Important
Lithium-ion batteries contain valuable metals like cobalt, nickel, and lithium, which is recovered and reused in new batteries and electronics. Recycling not only helps conserve resources by reducing the demand for new mining, but it also prevents hazardous materials from leaching into the environment.
How Our Lithium Battery Disposal Services Work
In British Columbia, lithium battery disposal follows strict safety and environmental standards, meaning every battery is tracked from collection to processing. We make it easy to get rid of your old lithium batteries — just give us a call or email a quick photo for a pickup estimate. Our trained team will collect the batteries in specialized containers that prevent short-circuiting and send them to certified recycling facilities.
