Battery Recycling At Metropolitan House

We are pleased to announce that our business centre in Gateshead has decided to opt in to battery recycling facilities.

Here at Metropolitan House we are taking steps towards helping our environment!

“Most batteries are put into rubbish bins and then taken to landfill sites. There are different types of batteries which can contain dangerous chemicals including: lead,cadmium, zinc, lithium and even mercury.

When batteries begin to rot away in landfill sites these chemicals may leak into the ground, which can cause soil and water pollution. When chemicals contaminate soil and water animals, humans and the environment can be harmed.

Recycling is a great way to help protect the environment. Each battery placed in a recycling bin will be taken apart and the materials will be used to make something new.”
