Christmas time means toys and toys often mean batteries. But once those batteries run out… what happens next?

You can’t just pop them in the rubbish bin, it’s unsafe for you and the environment.

The good news? We’ve got you covered!

We have free battery collection points at:

• Mitre 10 MEGA Upper Hutt
• New World Silverstream
• The Warehouse Upper Hutt
• Hearing Consultants Upper Hutt
• PAK’nSAVE Upper Hutt

So you can drop off your used batteries safely and easily while you’re out and about.

Give your old batteries a responsible send-off this Christmas!
