Lithium battery fires

Lithium batteries have caused fires in the rubbish lorries. Please do not put batteries in your waste or recycling bin. All batteries (including lithium batteries from e-bikes and e-scooters and other re-chargeable devices) can be taken to the Reuse and Recycling Centre at Northumberland Wharf.

Recycling in Tower Hamlets is quick and easy. It’s about making a simple choice between putting items in your bin or recycling them. Reducing the amount of waste we produce in the first place is even better than recycling. This can also save you lots of money.
