Lithium Battery Disposal & Rapid Response Across the UK.

June 3, 2025
Cellcycle's rapid response vehicle for lithium battery disposal

We deliver a compliant, rapid, and specialist service to ensure your lithium battery assets are safely decommissioned, removed, and managed in accordance with the highest standards of lithium battery disposal and recovery.

1. On-Site Guidance and Risk Assessment

Our trained battery technicians provide immediate support, including safe lithium battery disposal, isolation of compromised modules, and real-time risk assessments. This first step ensures effective containment and prevents further escalation of risks associated with unstable lithium-ion cells.

2. Decommissioning and Disposal at Industrial Sites

We offer full plant battery removal and decommissioning for clients in the energy storage, automotive, and manufacturing sectors. Whether batteries are damaged, degraded, or unstable, we ensure safe removal and compliant lithium battery disposal aligned with all relevant environmental and safety regulations.

3. Compliant Collection and Specialist Transport

Our ADR-approved vehicles and experienced team, supported by our in-house Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor (DGSA), handle the secure transport of damaged, defective, or recalled (DDR) batteries to licensed facilities for certified lithium battery disposal and recycling. Every step is tracked to meet strict compliance requirements.

4. Licensed Lithium Battery Storage

Cellcycle provides more than 700 tonnes of licensed storage capacity, enabling short- and long-term holding of lithium batteries prior to disposal or further processing. This storage plays a crucial role in the lithium battery disposal chain, preventing unsafe accumulation and ensuring safety and compliance at all times.

5. Technical Reporting and Traceability

Every job includes full documentation — including State of Charge (SoC), State of Health (SoH), and Root Cause Analysis (RCA). These reports support your lithium battery disposal records for audits, insurance claims, and regulatory oversight, adding transparency and traceability to your battery lifecycle.

Why Proper Lithium Battery Disposal Matters

When safety, environmental compliance, and operational continuity are at stake, basic waste collection services simply aren’t enough. Lithium battery disposal is a specialised process — improper handling or storage of lithium-ion batteries can lead to fire, contamination, and significant legal liability.

Our lithium battery disposal and rapid response service is designed to minimise risk, protect your site and staff, and ensure full regulatory compliance from the moment of incident through to final recovery or certified disposal.

Cellcycle’s dedicated rapid response solution ensures that, no matter the scale or urgency, your battery assets are handled with speed, expertise, and care. From on-site assessment to ADR-compliant transport and certified lithium battery disposal, we’re here for the moments that matter most.
