Activ Energy B-Cycle Batteries

We want to do our bit to change that. In 2021, ALDI Australia came on board as an accredited member of the Battery Stewardship Council and is now a participant of the B-cycle battery recycling program. The Battery Stewardship Council strives to ensure that batteries are recycled in an environmentally sound manner through accredited drop-off points. Since 2013, ALDI has recycled 351 tonnes of batteries.

How To Recycle Activ Energy B-Cycle Batteries

  • General Recycle

    Plastic Free Packaging

    B-cycle Battery packaging with a Plastic Free Label are curbside recyclable. Simply put the packaging in your recycling bin when you're done with it.
  • Return to Collection Point

    1. Tape up the ends

    Tape the ends of used batteries using regular, non-conductive tape like sticky tape, duct tape or electrical tape. This step prevents sparking that creates a fire hazard.
  • Return to Collection Point

    2. Safely store your batteries

    Store your batteries in a clearly labelled glass container. Make sure the container is not airtight, as pressure can build up. Properly storing your batteries reduces the risk of fire hazard until you take them to your nearest ALDI store B-cycle drop-off point.
  • Return to Collection Point

    3. Keep your batteries away from heat sources

    Incidents can occur when batteries are exposed to excessively hot weather or heat sources such as stoves. It is important to keep your batteries out of the sun, in a cool, dry place.
  • Return to Collection Point

    4. Recycle your batteries within six months

    Try to drop off your old batteries within six months of use. We recommend writing ‘B-cycle’ on your shopping list to remind yourself the next time you are heading to ALDI.
