Separate e-bike batteries and electrical components from packaging and mechanical parts. A damaged pack needs specialist advice, not a routine bin or an improvised storage-container solution.
Information to gather
- Record the battery model and damage history without dismantling the pack.
- Ask the manufacturer or specialist recycler for acceptance and transport instructions.
- Keep ordinary recycling limited to materials the collector has confirmed.
What to check before deciding
Do not place lithium batteries in general waste or ordinary mixed recycling. For signs of immediate danger, prioritise emergency advice; do not move or transport an unsafe pack merely to complete a collection.
Victorian landfills cannot receive e-waste; batteries need an appropriate dedicated collection route. See EPA Victoria - Electronic waste.
